As sad as it is, it actually makes me hopeful that it can help push the agenda onto sustainable energy sources, as long as they are economically viable (which many are at this point). Once it starts hitting the bottom-line for large corporations, and better alternatives exist, that's when we see change (not when millions of scientists warn about the devastating effects). Maybe we can finally have a climate agreement where they stick to the agreement part. Sceptical but hopeful.
