It is necessary to find cost-effective ways to replace coal with renewables or to be able to use coal and lignite in a climate-friendly way (clean coal technologies, methanol economy, carbon capture, storage, and recycling) to make decarbonization not only an alternative for rich countries, but a truly global option.

What if we could keep doing exactly what we have been doing for the past 150 years, but we just reframed the externalities into a friendly sound byte, and also lobbied the government to make us exempt from the environmental regulations that were targeting us?

This is environmentalism in Late-stage-Capitalism.
