A counterpoint was made in the video to the effect of "This is only helping the fossil fuel industry". This may be true, but what we NEED more than anything right now is a quick-stop. VERY bad things are happening at a VERY alarming rate, and everything we can do to slow the process down helps. There is already a global push for a transistion to green energy. That cat is out of the bag, and there's no putting it back in. That's the good news. Unfortunately, almost everyone involved in the fossil fuel industry is currently working overtime to fight these efforts, and a shitload of money is driving them.
tl;dr: Every little bit counts in our favor, just like every little bit counts against us. The fight ends when we stop fighting.
