no
oppose stupidity that only helps the fossil fuel industry
we don't respect stupidity. toxic idealism is our enemy as surely as MAGA. the effect of this idiocy is the same as MAGA: support for the fossil fuel industry. because the whiny useless perfectionist doesn't understand that doesn't mean we respect that
respecting stupidity is part of what got us into this current mess

The fossil fuel addiction will be solved like the coal addiction before it. Solar and wind have come into their own, now cometh the better battery.
I'm driving a Pacifica hybrid. We have solar panels on the house roof. When the Better Battery arrives, we can make long trips without gas at all, but that day ain't here yet
@tuban_muzuru @GhostOnTheHalfShell @blogdiva
good
and thank you
and now you understand the idiocy of GhostOnTheHalfShell, arguing against that, merely out of toxic idealism
this marks that account as a shill of the fossil fuel industry or just too fucking stupid to see that the only real world effect of their perfectionist bullshit is to help the fossil fuel industry

@GhostOnTheHalfShell looks at the problem from a kinetic energy perspective. Everything has undeniable conseqences - look at Lake Mead,
@benroyce @tuban_muzuru @blogdiva
It’s your assertion without proof that I am being perfectionist. One I am saying is that the top priority should be getting rid of cars. The cheapest pathway to do that is to restructure our land use patterns when you look at all the costs.
The cheapest cleanest energy is the shit we never dig up or burn. The best way to accomplish that is to structure our communities to diminish the need to dig up or burn anything.
@tuban_muzuru @GhostOnTheHalfShell @blogdiva
right so we get our energy from the sun rather than digging it up. vast improvement

Global warming melted the glaciers and snowmass which filled Lake Mead. They'll never let it disappear completely, but hydro power will soon be gone

i don't understand

The Limits to Growth in 1972.
You want to argue that PV and EV manufacture would somehow magically bring us within those limits. My assertion is that this is not the case, and that the proper engineering outlook is to look at the actual budget and remain within those bounds..
To manufacture all this green stuff, you have to continue to destroy the productive capacity of the planet.
Necessarily, you have to look at other choices
