Lobbying can only do so much. In the face of an ideology dedicated to putting humanity back in the stone age, it can do little:

"Complex technology of any sort is an assault on human dignity. It would be little short of disastrous for us to discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy, because of what we might do with it." -- Amory Lovins

"A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation." -- Paul Ehrlich

What is needed is full a refutation of the quotes above, and a system of ideas (Google "Alex Epstein") to show us how things could and should be. This is why I say that simple political lobbying, while necessary, isn't remotely enough.
