No it's really not. Asbestos risks and remediation are known solved problems.

Sadly, these sorts of hyperbolic videos are the result of private equity investment https://www.electrify.video/news/electrify-completes-majorit... in this channel desperately trying to goose returns.

Do you have any sources that support your claims that the risks and "remediation" are solved problems? Regardless of the content of the video I'm very curious if you have legitimate sources for how something like mesothelioma is a "solved problem", because I surely don't know any.

I've had clients in asbestos remediation (data science / management side), dealt with two personal real estate properties (one rural and one urban) that had asbestos issues, and grand parents on both sides of the family tree with black lung.

Mesothelioma is not "solved", but akin to pneumoconiosis and pulmonary fibrosis its risk profiles are well-known.

I mean, it depends on whether it's the inclusive "we". I'm sure it is a bigger problem than the people who worked on the video thought.
