I suppose greenwashing works? in the sense creates favorable stats, not that it helps the environment.
You really don't like to admit even the smallest bit of positive news, do you?
Obviously I don't see this as good news because I can't see how ecology and capitalism can work together, unless it is greenwashing. Environmentalism/ecology/etc want sustainability, capitalism is all about eternal growth of the business, and I don't see corporations and other financial entities changing their business model? Do you?
Capitalism is helping destroy fossil fuels. Solar and hydro electricity is cheaper than fossil fuels.
Government subsidies - interference with he capitalist market - are propping up the oil industry (and the meat industry, while we're at it).
Properly regulated capitalism is perfectly capable of fixing the climate crisis. Ecology and capitalism work together when going green is cheaper than using fossil fuels.
