Yeah, a lot of environmentalists want gasoline up to $20 a gallon. Because at that price suddenly lots of heretofore "infeasible" solutions become feasible. It hurts the little guy the most, but since when do environmentalists care about the deplorables?

Plenty of environmental literature talks about how to create a sustainable world without shoving all the burdens onto the poor. That's not usually what gets amplified, though.
The people who write the environmental literature are overwhelmingly upper middle class and professional-managerial class. They are in conflict with the little guy and this will never change.
I've met more than I'd like to. I'll call them liberals, careerists, ineffectual, coopters, but they always strike me as genuine and as having a deeper analysis of power. C'mon, they quote Naomi Klein like it's the bible.

Literally, every environmentalist I've ever met has been a democratic socialist, Indigenous patriot or an anarchist. Who are you even talking about?
Maybe you need to meet more environmentalists.
