Money is not the only motivator, but it is a big one. My point was that when there is no competition between innovative entities, there is less incentive to make the most efficient and most productive product. A company that makes crappy solar panels that work, isnt going to even be able to compete with one that makes solar panels that work and are efficient and better quality. The competitive nature of capitalism drives innovation, that's a fact that you cant argue with.

I have never understood the lefts view of capitalism as some kind of enslaving ideology, pushed alongside the agendas of politicians. Capitalism isnt like that, it wasn't invented by some enlightened 18th century philosopher. Capitalism has been around since the dawn of time and is naturally occurring in nature, humans included.
