An easy solution to make renewable energy more acceptable by political and economic elites is to physically demolished the other energy infrastructure so that they will be left with no choice but to pivot towards renewables instead of big clumsy easy to hit power stations. Works like a charm but there's a catch.

As a whole, we need to get better at physically demolishing the infrastructure of evil. Palestine Action showed us that direct actions like sabotage of factories is very effective at forcing changes. So effective that they got labeled terrorists for it.

In the end of the day the only thing that matters is how a bunch of old guys feel about the way that thing makes them look

I'm just thinking abt the environmental impacts in the local area if there are guerrilla attacks on oil rigs. It could damage ecosystems like the oil spill that happened 10-20 years ago

why go that far - how about the environmental impact of shelling the area with all sorts of munitions? Pretty much the entirety of russian-occupied territory since 2022 is rendered into a literal dead moonscape and even decades later (if this shit ever ends) a good chunk of that land will remain a red zone filled with all sorts of bad things.
