  • Lobbying for green energy to get priority access to the grid and for renewable energy targets is part of what had to be done to get the costs down. I have mentioned green lobbying again and again. XR doesn’t have a monopoly, or even the best strategy, on the political battle. But as I said, if they do succeed in moving the dial I’ll eat my hat. I don’t think they will because I think they’re alienating too many people.

    Who claims that they do? The existence of XR doesn’t preclude lobbyists doing their jobs, just as the existence of lobbyists doesn’t preclude ordinary people expressing their voice through protest. What’s the issue here?

    The issue IMHO is that XR through their tactics allow the issue to be recast as part of the culture wars and thereby turn people against climate activism on a tribal basis, rather than building the non-partisan consensus that we need for real change. I think they are undermining everyone else’s work.
