It's not just blackrock but also mountains and mountains of grifters who serve to grift off the "green shit" craze. During the Obama era the Solyndra scandal was in every attack ad but I remember it as an example of just how many people are trying to get rich from it.
Case in point I was buying tomatoes at the store and learned that there was some bullshit startup called AppHarvest that is currently one such "eco friendly" startup with all the right buzzwords, and is losing money and is about to get evicted from their indoor greenhouse (which had low yields recently after disease hit the plants).

You just know this business was one big ass grift for ESG points when they literally fucking built a greenhouse and touted it as a solution for climate change.
