    Left vs right politics. A lot more useful worv could be done if they accepted the left says they are a friend but doesn’t act it. When transit projects cost so much you can never get transit that is close enough to driving that non fanatics consider not driving (activists often drive too). the leading states for wind power are red not blue - were did the movement go wrong that they are behind?

    There is also a lot they can do personally that most don’t. I’ve seen many houses where insulation upgrades would save money but activists often don’t invest. Electric cars are coming, but I wonder how many will buy. many activists complain about large SUVs but then buy them.

      Are those people activists, or are they professional-managerial class Twitter liberals who think consumer choice is praxis?

        how could you know? greenpeace has successfully faught nucaear power at great environmental cost, they think they are environmental activists, by results they are some of the worst (many oil companies small innestmens in green energy of some sort which I’m going toiassert pulls then ahead - this is debatable)
