MODERATORS
I'm gonna suggest there's a cognitive dissonance going on here
Collective action is part of the answer. The influential will do what they do, sure. But the 60 million normal people in the UK absolutely have an impact
The bargaining power of the masses assumes that said masses have a viable say in the process.
If your options are: buy power from the only company supplying it or not have power, is that really a choice?
Indeed, not much you can do about the power grid. Normally the choice is about consuming less.
Drive less, fly less, eat less meat etc
