"WE" is an interesting word, isn't it ? The author obviously meant "humanity". Not "him and a bunch of friends".

That being said, this is hacker news, this is for the elite, and startups can disrupt everything, etc...

What can "you and a bunch of friends" do to fix the issue" ?

Because, the people "preventing" us from fixing the issue here are, basically, the whole oil and gas industry, plus the electorate. Which, interestingly, is partly... "WE".

Just the stupidest take you could ever have, well done.

People like you.
