Vice-Regent Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 19 hours ago, skierinvermont said: Depletion of rare earth metals by wind turbines is not a concern. Germany already generates most of its power from wind and solar and has dramatically reduced their emissions and environmental impact. The fact that Americans are still debating this shows the extent of misinformation here. I suppose my argument derives from a personal ethical preference. I believe the autonomy of the human individual is decreasing. Don't confuse this with the right to pollute but rather the ability to live fulfilling lives. Put simply everyone has a reason to leave civilization as we know it behind. A decrease in the standard of living for the vast majority of the world and an untenable resource consumption burden therefore the removal of the resource base for future generations. The only people who will be holding on to the utopian fantasy in 20 years will be the fringe capitalists and related types social democratic governments and communism. Sadly in their departure from the world stage will leave destruction in their wake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon powered surged. But even that could not make up for the incredible demand. Were some plants offline? Yes...but the online ones provided amazing amount of power. What's your view on nuclear? If I might ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormchaserChuck! Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I've never seen anything like it, entire systems of actual construct (seen through the lens of a computer or something) are based around an individual, and an individual that is outside of oneself. These are entire climate systems, etc. Everything is geared up for war. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
