that's not how class actions or any other lawsuit works. and who do you think that hypothetical class is going to sue? when the government enacts some legislation or a new regulation that doesn't work, your recourse is to vote them out. if you are in the minority, your next recourse is to go somewhere else or quit. you can't sue edison, the port, the trucking company (etc.) for not fixing a broken mandate to your satisfaction. and you can't legislatively or via lawsuit force an industry to do something that doesn't make economic sense. they'll just quit/leave/avoid/die instead. what needs to happen is for the infrastructure and other significant problems to be solved and then it will organically slowly displace an older "worse" technology. the point to the article is that we ain't there yet.
