Should be 100%. After the 70s oil embargo we should have had ungodly research into nuclear, fusion, solar, and batteries. Good time to build more metros instead of asking more car lanes. We could have also kicked coal in the 80s. That's 40 to 50 years of no political will.

Most of everyone else would agree that it is a lack of political will.

Why don’t we go after the largest polluter, which is industry and corporations?

Oh, we can’t do that because they pay for politicians reelection campaigns.

Okay then, let’s just destroy the environment for a few more decades.
