"Certainly capital will stop at nothing to maintain its hegemony, and transitioning away from fossil fuels toward “renewables” is the means by which they purport to do this. Yet capital continues to extract massive profits from fossil fuels, while creating new profit streams from lithium, rare earth minerals, and even carbon sequestered in trees. Even if renewables were to actually replace fossil fuels it seems clear that one does not have “clean energy” if it comes at the cost of contaminated water, soil, and air—if it means consigning 4,000 species to history’s dustbin."
