I do believe the biggest impact would come from regulating large companies and billionaires, but it’s not one or the other.

Yeah, but don't forget industry exists to sell things to consumers. I wouldn't put the onus on an individual person, that is a scam, but everybody collectively I sure would.

The way to make everyone collectively do something is through legislation.

The reason you vote (with your… you know… votes) is so that the administration that isn’t going to gut the EPA gets the next term. And maybe they’ll enforce regulations on special interests that actually make a positive difference in emissions.

Ah! Sorry about that. I'm trying to be better about that.
