You could make the argument that if those votes bought and won an election and you got a non conservative government, you would end up with more climate friendly legislation than without those exemptions (and then conservatives win and nothing climate friendly happens.)

Such is the curse of a large pluralistic democracy where we have to win over folks who disagree with us.
