"Lack of political will" = "lobbyist money is more enticing"
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.
I, for one, hope reagan is rotting in hell with jimmy carter's white house solar panels shoved up his ass.
Most of everyone else would agree that it is a lack of political will.
is this like a euphemism or something
Not tonight dear, I’m lacking 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.
