Robert Pollin quotes:

The profits of oil, coal, and natural gas companies will have to yield to the imperative of sustaining life on earth.

The fossil fuel industry will inevitably have to experience major cutbacks and, over the longer term, near-total demise. There is simply no choice in the matter if we believe the research produced by climate scientists. The profits of oil, coal, and natural gas companies will have to yield to the imperative of sustaining life on earth.
