   @alienghic hm; so I guess even if something as far-fetched as "yes, if you can somehow convince the state to turn against its best friend" counts as a yes, how could anyone justify answering no?

   that's certainly much less plausible than developing and deploying cheap cold fusion in the next ten years

     @skyfaller @alienghic I guess my point was that I think most people will interpret the wording in this poll as whether it's possible for something to be done by ordinary people, not by governments who are in theory supposed to do the will of citizens over protecting those in power

     @technomancy @alienghic Fossil fuels aren't the friend of every state. For example, island nations are in danger of being completely submerged by rising sea levels. What if they provided letters of marque to privateers to attack fossil fuel infrastructure?

     This sounds unlikely, but nations can start doing unusual things when faced with extinction.
