Classic want your cake and eat it too. God forbid you sacrifice to improve it. Of course we want to improve it but don't act like you are on a higher moral ground
My last comment, all those replies from people on their 1000 dollar smart phones made by sweat shops in China. Like you really care. If that shames you so be it.
I already said I like solar in the right places. I was in Hopkinton RI yesterday. I saw a 180 acre forest completely stripped. If that's the road you want to go down hoping it helps climate change that's your prerogative.
I really think solar is great, strip mining entire forests to put them up not so much. Not just the carbon, it's the animals, the vegetation, the beauty. It's pretty sad to see 180 acres of trees felled to put up solar.
Toxic waste from solar panels is a huge problem. We really need to think it through not jump in head first. Last thing we need are more Army Corps of Engineers disasters
So what's your plan? I mean it's fine to be an idealist but what exactly are you proposing . I seem to have seen that climate related deaths are way down and if course costs are up when we build on barrier beaches. We are pretty dumb
See this is exactly what I mean.moderate meaning taking action that is not based on hype but rather takes into account all ramifications of action. Solar power is great until you have to dispose of the panels. Alternative energy like Nuclear is great until it's not. There is no free lunch. Garth said it very well.
So what's the answer? Let's hear them and what will be the results of your solution and are you sure your solutions will be the answer . Who will be negatively effected by your solutions?
I don't give a crap what you do, what you say, who you support. You do you. Its awesome you are proactive in supporting your beliefs, leave me alone to believe what I believe is a media driven agenda . I don't think anyone is out to get me.
Problem is you can't be in the middle on anything, if you are you get attacked as a denier or alarmist. Possibly the biggest issue facing this country is the radicals get all the attention. Either you are with us or you are not. Reality is most people have a moderate sensible take on things. But extremism gets the hype and that is squarely on the hands of all media.
Pollution is something we all can take part in. IDK about metal straws sipping Mai Tais in the Caribbean. Who shamed you? I was generalizing. Sorry you took it as a personal attack. Vacation away man. IDC what anyone does just dont infringe your ideals on my ideals. You are free to think and feel as you like but so am I. I personally believe there is agenda that is magnifying and hyping. Oil companies of course are ruthless pigs, so are politicians on both sides. Once you come to understand the game you will realize how fruitless it is. It's been fixed since the dawn of time.
