    What I want for governments is to enormously subsidise converting from petrol and diesel to bikes and electric cars! And to speed up the process of expanding energy and electricity nets.

      For sure! But it has to be done in a way that is lazer focused on making sure no worker is left behind. The Green New Deal (not the Von Der Leyen simulacrum, the Bernie Sanders original) is trying to articulate that idea. The Polanski Greens in the UK and the Lewis NDP in Canada are all about offering this democratic ecosocialist vision forward. Without this leg of the equation, fake green capitalism is just a gift to the far right.
