I think the problem is much bigger than that - as long as a few people are both influential and able to insulate themselves we're not going to get change on climate policy.
That's why I don't think climate policy can be separated from inequality, individual empowerment/equality/rights/influence on government, accountability and corporate governance.
As long as people are buying gas, Exxon execs are going to be able to influence every election.
We have to either get rid of the influence or get rid of the insulation to get change.
