I don’t believe we can win on authoritarianism if we don’t take on the fossil fuel industry. The fossil fuel industry is not simply benefiting from authoritarianism; it is a major driver of the destruction of democracy in the United States and in other parts of the world. We do not simply need to better control and regulate the fossil fuel industry. In order to have a planet able to sustain human life and other species, the entire world must stop burning fossil fuels altogether. This means we must first diminish, and then completely dismantle, the fossil fuel industry.
