    Yeah, I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted. Everything you said is true, and respectful.

    I think open-ended can be okay, so long as there are milestones we can achieve (i.e. try different things out to see what works and what doesn’t). Something as big as the environment, health/safety, and not completely alienating industries (as much as I hate to say it, we do need them and their resources to an extent), is not something that is going to be easily solved without compromise.

    I expect that my last two points will not win me any popularity contests, but they cannot be ignored.
