I think it&#x27;s worth remembering that when people talk about &quot;Lobbying&quot;, they are often talking about a particular subset of lobbying attached to extremely vast sources of money and power. More, the unrestricted nature of that lobbying, in practice, breaks the system down.<p>It would be the case if this were happening with well-intentioned environmentalists too, although I&#x27;m sure it would look very different in the particulars. The fact is though, that in history doesn&#x27;t teach us to be concerned about vastly wealthy and powerful environmental interests. Maybe that will change someday, but it&#x27;s not the history of our planet at least.<p>tl;dr Context
