So, you are saying that carbon emissions into the atmosphere are already slowing down? Last I checked, they were still accelerating.

But if we do not phase out capitalism, we are on the trolley track to human extinction.

A bit of a double bind.

We will need to phase out capitalism first.

Capitalism's core mantra is "as much profit as possible, come hell or high water, until you die".

Lobbyists are another way big corporations warn society not to "fuck with their profits".

Well, capitalism is not going to go down without a brutal fight. And I am sorry to say, but that brutal fight may very well be World War III.

Nothing.
They will do it if they think it is profitable.

None of those will actually allow you to determine if a piece of property is wired up or not. If the lines are underground, you obviously will not be able to see them.
Maybe what needs to be done is a call to 8-1-1.

The problem is actually having the ISP tech visit before closing on the house. Most large ISPs will not do this.

But it won't, because it's just way too profitable to not fix it.

Be careful. Comcast has on at least one occasion cut a rival ISP's underground lines to put it out of business and forcibly take its customers.
