Thank you for being tuned into my pessimism and helping me paint an even bleaker picture! =D No but seriously that was a very thought-provoking reply and I'm personally very aligned with the classic environmentalist solution but equall

This makes me more pessimistic that "the markets" will ever fix something related to anything where the negative effects are seen a decade down the road. We will switch to an electric fleet to "save the environment" and

About that first point, that to me seem like a genuine and emphatic thing to do but I want to flag that this has the potential to go into the "soft" areas where feelings exist. For a crash course in "feelings and needs"
