Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it.
We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

Did you just watch Zohran's & many other DSA comrade's historic wins last night and feel that fundamental shift in the tenor of American politics?
What we saw last night wasn't the work of a single individual. It took the hard work of people just like us to make them happen.
