Heck, just start with eliminating subsidies. Then tax them. Tax them to the point that we're begging for trains and good public transit.

Perhaps it is time to consider taxing fossil fuels to help pay for the costs of the climate crisis? Particularly when there is evidence corporations like Exxon knowingly lied about it decades ago so they could cash out on their oil. I think they’ve socialized the costs for long enough.

Thank you! Yes. Just eliminating their SUBSIDIES would be a good start. Big Oil will not stop until the cost becomes too high FOR THEM. They will continue to socialize the cost whether US, Saudi Arabia, or Russia. They would burn this world to the ground for their profit… and are.

Yes. People who think that capitalism will reign in greed are woefully blind to the reality that by the time fixing the problem becomes profitable, it's far too late.

We know. We KNOW, that nearly all industry is terrible at regulating itself. This is a legitimate govt. public service to regulate those who threaten public health. Air pollution didn’t stop in the 1970’s & 1980’s from industry but from the public regulations of EPA established by REPUBLICAN Nixon.

Probably the only thing I'll ever give Nixon credit for 🙃
