100% Politics-aside, there are good reasons to move away from fossil fuels - but it is science that is going to do it, not politics. And when it comes to power, nuclear is far-and-away the best idea we've got. Our grandkids will probably have nuclear fission and the whole question will be moot. And before then, there are compelling carbon-recapture technologies that are being developed. We need to move forward like that, not deindustrialize. www.iter.orgSupposedly we are close to practical fusion. Could be in the next decade. |

Greenpeace co-founder tears into Ocasio-Cortez, Green New Deal: ‘Pompous little twit’
@aoc
Pompous little twit. You don’t have a plan to grow food for 8 billion people without fossil fuels, or get food into the cities. Horses? If fossil fuels were banned every tree in the world would be cut down for fuel for cooking and heating. You would bring about mass death.

Isn't @aoc a bit young to talk about WW2? It was Hell & more than 60 million died. It's her @gnd that would be worse than WW2. Imagine no fuel for cars, trucks, tractors, combines, harvesters, power-plants, ships, aircraft, etc. Transport of people & goods would grind to a halt.
I suspect @aoc is a flash in the pan. Her @gnd is so completely crazy it is bound to be rejected in the end. But she does have wind in her sales due to the political situation. 2020 will be even more interesting now.

she says...
also fly ✈️ & use A/C
Living in the world as it is isn’t an argument against working towards a better future.
The Green New Deal is about putting a LOT of people to work in developing new technologies, building new infrastructure, and getting us to 100% renewable energy.
he replies
The "world as it is" has the option of taking the subway rather than a taxi. option of Amtrak rather than plane, option of opening windows rather than A/C. You're just a garden-variety hypocrite like the others. And you have ZERO expertise at any of the things you pretend to know

This is where the free market can get us. Different competing ideas that will find the best solution. Always better than some government backed nonsense that could never make it to marker without big subsidies. And yes I will say it again oil subsidies should end too. |
