I think I strongly agree with this post on becoming specific, having observed how the fossil fuels vs renewables “fight” is playing out. Perhaps it is not directly relevant to bio, but the climate action takes place in obscure places, often at state level in the US where the fossil fuel lobby hired actors to influence some local politics (not recommended!) and how very important decision are made in esoteric hearings of unknown government entities. I am not saying bio will play out similarly, but that it is important to find these arenas/levers within the large and complex government landscape, build alliances and engage on specific points in the bureaucracy.
