Rule or laws are the key point. Not voluntary participation. We should not allow polluting industries to decide their own terms of service
This is really important. Just the fact that the backlash from the fossil fuel industry was so massive shows you how much this law can actually change.

So companies with huge carbon footprints will be under attack by the government. Investors do not like that, but this gives them the choice to choose cleaner companies.
