    I defend that simply doing what is needed to clean up all the shit we have left behind up to now, let alone prevention, energy transition, moving to biodegradable plastics, mass transit, etc, would create immense economic growth. It’s essentially the fossil fuels cartel, and their political minions who keep us here.

    Maybe if all of the renewable sector pooled together to lobby as hard as the fossils, there could be advances.

      This is why I loathe a lot of the arguments against stuff that boil down to “it’d be a lot of work”. There are tons of people who need jobs.

      I know reality isn’t so simple, but it’s still frustrating as hell.
