Undoubtedly, he's right. The question I have is: will our elected officials have learned from the Covid-19 response or from the financial crisis? Or will we let industry off with a slap on the wrist with regular folks holding the bag?

When I think about those doing the bidding of the fossil fuel industry, I usually imagine a scenario when an executive (or their assistant) makes a call delivering a message that is basically... "Jump." and the response on the other end is... "HOW HIGH BOSS!?!?" I'm sure this DOES happen but
