I believed my hair would blow away with sufficient wind. And it basically did, it just took 30 more years

Yeah I mean you are right. I guess I am getting impatient waiting for society to decide this is a big enough problem to need to address it, and crippling the oil industry, while having a LOT of other negative ramifications, would essentially force people to use less oil and find alternatives/do without immediately. Ideally that wouldn’t be a necessary intermediate step to progress but it feels like no progress for so long it starts sounding appealing to force the issue

There have been groups doing this for quite a while in many detrimental industries. There was a documentary a while back about one of them (earth liberation front) that eventually got caught. They did extensive work to ensure workers at those facilities weren’t injured and it was just property destruction.

I have to think if enough property was destroyed the owners would run out of money and investors to build more

Is this for video games or romantic advice?

Even bad guys can have a soft spot for scratch
