Each of these people made a choice about how they were going to affect the environment. The vast majority "voted" to use fossil fuels.

I could write an essay of pure rage about how many overtly liberal people in my life and online still decide against electric over minor or non-existent inconveniences or extra upfront cost (for people who definitely aren't broke).
These people will yell and complain about anything and everything destroying the Earth, but then when it's their turn?
"We just couldn't figure out how to make the extra 30 minute charge stop on our annual vacation work..."
This is disingenuous if you don’t note that in the US we essentially subsidize/ encourage fossil fuel.
