@HI_Greens again, I'm not arguing against clean(er) energy, I think replacing fossil fuels with wind, solar, hydro, etc is great!
My point is that technical solutions don't fix social issues, and while getting rid of fossil fuels is great in lots of ways, this isn't really one of those ways

@hazelnot Reasonably, for example if we lived in a matriarchy, the countries where those elements are extracted would be well-paid for them, and there would be worker safety measures in place. Maybe if we manage to save ourselves from climate collapse we can get on with the job of getting rid of the patriarchal "me first" way of doing things.
