These are all great accomplishments for labor law but they have nothing to do with sustainability. Maybe I'm not being clear, when I say sustainably, I mean for the environment. Most energy companies won't even admit climate change is real or severely downplay it. So no, I still don't think it will be done sustainably.

You asked me about what inspired me. I told you. If you need environmental wins, there's:

- Erin Brockovich vs. Pacific Gas & Electric (1993 Settlement)

- Dewayne Johnson vs. Monsanto (2018)

- Robert Bilott vs. DuPont (PFOA Contamination Cases, 1990s–2017)

- Roundup Litigation Beyond Johnson (2019–2020s)

- Founding of the EPA

- Passage of the clean water act

Just for a start.

Feel free to snatch defeat from the jaws of success before ever trying, though. Much easier that way. And probably someone else's fault.
