good, the bullshit TFG left behind is severely hampering the solar industry. oh wait, you are probably an O&G fanboy who wants to watch the world burn. green is future - might wanna get onboard!


One can think pursuing massive solar investment is wise while at the same time recognizing there will still be fossil fuels in our future.

 

You couldn’t eliminate fossil fuels from our day to day lives even if everyone wanted. Too vital to too many vital industries. Look at the global famine that’s unfolding. High natural gas prices play a huge role in that via fertilizer.
 

We should be leveraging our resource advantages where we have them. It would make us more energy secure (and politically secure), while also helping to stabilize things geopolitically.

The climate immigration wars are going to be something else.

One thing that I think Biden should seriously consider is building a national refining capacity.  Maybe take over the refinery shell abandoned last year?  I have always said (every tie we have high gas prices, JUNE of every year) what good is a strategic petroleum reserve without strategic refining capacity.  Each and every year gas prices go up because of a known supply squeeze created every single year as we convert from winter to summer fuel blends.

Now I know for those that don't know a fucking lick about economics the price of gas (this one time) is the President's fault.  If prices were low we know that Republicans would be using the exact opposite logic.  

But I think we should have national refining capacity.  Think of the billions it could save consumers.  And it would help out the oil companies that lament that the price of goes up every summer. Without strategic refining capacity what good does a bunch of oil in the ground really do?  

 

If you really want to lay blame for high gas prices, you should put it at the feet of Former PResident Donald J. Trump, who sat back and did not utter a peep when his fanboys Putin and the Murderer Saudi Prince decided to flood the market with oil to destroy the US fracking industry and US World oil production dominance.  Because... for you non-economics folks... it's ultimately supply and demand.  Trump let the US get rolled by Russia and the Saudis.  Of course Jared got $2 billion last month so maybe for Trump is was worth it.  The GOP honestly does not give a shit if the working class folks are struggling with high gas prices.  If there was a solution they would be against it!  Because it's purely about political power, and NEVER about the American people.

Yeah, but burning up the planet kinda equals stepping on our own dicks.

If we’re being honest here, you’re weighing one uncertain outcome (“burning up the planet”) vs more certain outcomes. Those include first world problems like blackouts or high food prices and third world problems like famine, starvation and death. These are the trade offs of the energy transition.

It's really not an uncertain outcome.  Left unchecked, it is a certainty.

Until small nuclear plants are on the table, energy talks are a joke. The new nuclear tech that is out there is game changing. If Biden really wanted to lead from the front, he’s get on nuclear.

Yeah I haven’t even mentioned that. You can’t claim to be concerned about climate change but still be shutting down nuclear plants. Our energy policy broadly is incoherent.

We’re talking about attempting to model the future outcomes of a complex system and basically focusing on one variable input. You may think you have a degree of certainty, but you don’t have absolute certainty. Sorry.

That's the same load of uncertainly bullshit that the oil companies have been peddling for decades to ensure we never stop using fossil fuels.

I'm about as certain about climate change as I am there is no god. let's see which one shows up first (hint: one is already here)

Its already happening in the US. I talk to climate migrants everyday. People moving because of fires in California, or heat in Texas or Florida.

if we'd have started this 25 years ago when the oil companies doubled down on their gaslighting campaign the trade offs wouldn't be as severe. 

if we'd have started this 35 years ago when hanson made his presentation to congress the trade offs wouldn't be as severe

if we'd have started this 45 years ago when exxon's own scientists told them this was happening the trade offs wouldn't be as severe

if we'd have started this 55 years ago when the API paid Stanford to investigate and found that it would happen the trade offs wouldn't be as severe

if we'd have started this 65 years ago when Edward Teller told them it was going to happen the trade offs wouldn't be as severe. 

if this had started a couple decades ago we probably wouldn't have even noticed it. 

instead, we've put this off for as long as possible because exxon might not make as much money.  this is exactly what you want GRHorn.  you want mass starvation because you're a selfish piece of gaslighted skinsuit who wanted to push this off to the last possible minute in service of chasing short term dollars.

if the inmates ever quit running the asylum I want to make it mandatory to keep everyone in school until 40. there is no excuse for a country this wealthy to have this many functionally illiterate people

More schooling won't do anything for them.

I feel the same for the 40% of Americans who are too stupid or brainwashed to defend this old sack of shit on a daily basis

And yet you see Donald Trump as superior.  Talk about stupid . . . you set a really high bar.

HOLY SHIT!!!! $1.49 a gallon?????

Eh, random sale.  It's not like one can stock up.  That's a week's worth for us . . . and the price is good for . . . a week.

More importantly, @Incredulity is obsessed with my grocery shopping habits, and brings it up often, so it's always good when he steps on his tiny dick (like he just did).
