If the greenies get what they want, the mass of humanity—what’s left of it—won’t be enjoying “green energy,” either. Most people will be walking, pedaling, or riding in a lithium torch-bus if they’re lucky. They’ll be eating bugs and lettuce in an effort to keep their lives “sustainable.”
Most of humanity will be gone. That is the entire point of the program. All the details are camouflage and distractors to lessen the resistance. The "greenies" themselves will be gone too. They are useful idiots for their sponsors, and entirely disposable once they have succeeded in their assignments.
Our "elites" want a pre-industrial feudal society with themselves and their descendants as absolute rulers forever over an obedient peasantry. They cannot control a world with billions of people in it, so they must get rid of most of the population.
And that is viewpoint of the sane members of the "elite".
The extremists are self-destructive individuals who want to see the rest of the world perish before they do.
That is what we are dealing with. Compromise and appeasement are not really possible with people who want to exterminate you.
