I'm genuinely at a loss with climate activism that doesn't sum up to endorsing adventurism at this point. I've seen no proof that the people making hand-over-fist profits broiling our planet will let go of their fixation on crude without. They fundamentally do not care about the will of the people; their money insulates them from that.
Not within capitalism. Unless we could somehow convince the capitalists that renewable energy was profitable, I doubt there's much we can do.
They're slowly being convinced, but it's not the entire solution. Nor is "build build build" renewable without any considerations for the so-called externalities (as capital always does) ultimately effective.
