It's a great statement, but these people need to STOP blaming the victims

We the peons don't set energy policy
We don't get to hire the scientists and researchers
We don't allocate funding

The global billionaire class is addicted to profits. They fund and access the politicians and global police forcing that keeps those profits coming in.

We have nothing to do with it
