  1. Not one solar panel has ever melted down resulting in an exclusion zone.

  2. A few 18 wheeler blocking the road would slow down that convoy it isn't hard to cause a traffic jam when you know the road they have to travel

  3. Nuclear power plants take 2x longer than off shore wind and cost 2x more to build. The UK just bid in off shore wind at 44 euros per megawatt vs 110 Euros for Hinkley Point C and 5 years to bring twice the capacity on line that has taken a decade for Hinkley Point C. The market has spoken nuclear lost on cost alone

  4. Don't worry the global agro business community will all be grateful for their increased profits. Same as the global ff industry is grateful for their record profits. Corporations in the USA reported the highest profits in 70 years last year. Inflation is good for companies who caused it.

  6. Elon Musk has become the wealthiest person on planet earth building EV. Shows you where the money went.

  7. I wonder how Biden expects to solve a fundamental flaw of neoliberal capitalism with a global summit? This is a direct result of globalisation and capitalism benefiting large scale mass production.

  10.  @Rangetechus  wrong trickle down economics gave us the rust belt. It made it more profitable to take the earning out of the company. Before Reagan we had the golden age of growth from the 40s to the 70s. Top marginal taxes where 90% and companies put money back into the company higher wages and new manufacturing facilities because it was wiser to invest in the working class and the company than to pay taxes. Reagan and half a century of trickle down economics removed the tax penalty so the earning where extracted from the company and paid to wallstreet

  12. I suggest we force them to live the rest of their lives with zero emissions it would actually just about equal out based on the IPCC timeline of less then a decade left to become zero emissions and the avg American emitting 15 tons per year IIRC. But the wealthiest 10% who emmitt more than half of all emmisions won't be held accountable they will continue to use the world's carbon budget for their own amusement.

  13.  @Spartan-jg4bf  blame a lack of gas on the alternative energy sources that lower demand for gas. Priceless

  14.  @Spartan-jg4bf  oh so there it is you have a vested self interest in protecting the status quo. It is impossible to convince someone of something their financial situation demands they not accept.

  15.  @Spartan-jg4bf  by the way since your self interest blocked your understanding of the Texas comparison I will make it really simple for you. It is the same deflection technique of blaming the renewable energy sector for the failure of the ff industry

  16.  @Spartan-jg4bf  wow the chicken and egg argument now to defend coal. Amazing you assume people you don't know are ignorant. There is also a company making wooded bases for windmills so the steal makes up a small percentage of their design. You should look them up they are pretty well know in the European energy sector. I am willing to bet you know who it is but wanted to make a bad faith argument assuming you would go unchecked on it.

  17.  @MrZozue  you think they would have better luck maintaining ff infrastructure than solar panels when the economy collapses? The mantaince on my solar panels is absolutely nothing at all they just sit there and make electricity for me. Why would you think that is harder to handle than a power plant that requires a constant flow of raw materials to operate?

  18. Another story brought to you by a century of ff industry profiteering.

  19.  @freddy4603  when the UK can build a HVDC line from northern Africa plus install solar wind and batteries to supply baseload electricity from 100% renewable energy at half the cost of Hinkley Point Nuclear power the free market has spoken nuclear power is dead. 100% renewable energy is the future. XLinks is showing the way in the UK.

  20. Half of all emmisions have happened in the last 2 decades and the effects of emmisions lag a decade behind the emmisions. It will get much worse over the next decade as we see the impacts of the ff we burned from 2012 to 2022. We need to end the ff era ASAP and get to real zero not net zero in half a century.

  21. Desalination will be necessary in a lot of places going forward but it would also cause massive spikes in the cost of food. It is very expensive to replace free rain water with desalinated water.

  22. Germany builds new stranded assets. That should be the title.

  23.  David  FYI Antarctica is covered by a glacier. For those who failed science that is one big block of frozen moisture. Yet the wind turbines still work because they where winterized.

  24. Yup 20 billion dollars would end homelessness in the USA but not one politician faught to get that in any of the government spending programs.

  25.  @johngablesmith4671  nope the GOP was getting what their donors wanted the entire time. The equivalent of $32,000 per US citizen was transferred to the wealthy business owners with their pandemic response. Ask yourself would you be better off if the federal government had given you $32,000 per member of your household than you are now, that they gave that money to your Boss? Because the government did give that money to wallstreet and cooperations in 2020.

  26. Yup because in 65 a controlled explosion was state of the art technology. One step better than the coal fired steam engine.

  27. Looks like china might have to write off those infrastructure costs as simply the cost of doing business. If you have the goods and want to get them to market you might have to build the road to the market at your own cost.

  28. What is needed is the green new deal. Renewable energy infrastructure jobs for the working class not neoliberalism forcing more taxes on the working class hoping the magically free market will fix things. The caplistist free market is what made the climate crisis in the first place. You can't expect a system that created the problem to fix it.

  30. Finally some good news from 2020. In a world with over 8 billion people we could use lower birth rates.

  31. The FDA said they don't know if it will benifit the patients but that there will definitely be high profits for the drug companies. So one more victory for the caplistist to get these high profits for no proven results.

  32. ​ @issi9740 will they grow their own food? When we have mass crop failure it won't matter how rich you are you can't buy what doesn't exist.

  33. Being that the climate is less stable it is difficult to predict where and when. Higher temperatures in many areas means less rain and forest fires. In others more rain. So yes hard to predict. It would have been easier to avoid but we are addicted to our ff even knowing it is causing the 6th mass extinction event

  34.  @EB-du3vh  what kind of a strawman argument is that? I asked how they calculate the baseline tax when different countries have different loopholes like private jets in the tax code and you ask if I want the government to take over the means of production? Tell me how you get from tax code questions to government run production. Because that is totally not related to if Amazon should be able to write off a private jet for Jeff Bezos from their taxes.

  35. Simply end all subsidies for the ff industry and charge them a fair rental price for the public lands they use. Meaning a price that reflects the wealthy they are extracting from the public off that land.

  36.  @MikeLiteraus  the courts had already heard the case. The members of Congress where taking part in trump's sedition trying to overthrow the government by throwing out the results of the constitutionality conducted and certified election. Remember the courts heard over 60 cases going all the way to the supreme court. There was no evidence of wide scale voter fraud able to change the results of the election according to not only the courts but William Barr the trump appointed head of the Department of Justice. To refuse to accept the ruling of the supreme court and try to overturn the election is sedition. By the way William Barr is a life long Republican and the majority of the supreme court judges are Republicans so you're argument about one party rule falls flat on it's face when you look at the facts.

  37.  @maxbreeze4861  the French revolution and the American Revolution where not without their fair share of violence. To get outraged at the oppressed who demand an end to oppression is to accept the will of the ruling class.

  39. Don't worry the climate crisis will shortly end all trips to places called islands. How many metrics tons of sea ice have to melt before they become part of history?

  40.  @merryn9000  the only mistake was not building the wind solar and renewable energy to replace the nuclear power plants. Nord Stream was the mistake.

  41.  @merryn9000  nuclear power isn't needed anymore it is yesterday's technology. The free market has spoken wind solar and storage is the future

  42.  @kaltenburg2637  but to answer your question we got to 8.5 billion ish people because food was cheap with ff driven mass production of poor quality food. It wasn't the outstanding healthcare of people living in the slums of India and China. In those slums in India the lifespan is something like 35 years old. That is the cost of your modern society.

  44. You are saying the cost of fuel went up by 700% and the demand for fuel was not impacted at all??? I don't know what your budget looks like but mine definitely wouldn't support that type of price increase inside a decade

  45. Do we live in a democracy? Look at Bush v Gore. The supreme court handed Bush the election based on a coup started by his cousin and the GOP. The supreme court said in the ruling that it was a narrow focused decision. That means don't use this ruling to determine other cases in the future. Well fast forward to 2020 3 of the members of the Bush league team are now on the supreme court. Kavanaugh just used the Bush case as grounds for one of his rulings in direct conflict with the ruling itself being narrow in scope. So the issues with the electoral college aside are you so sure we live in a democracy? I have my doughts at this point.

  46.  @etienneracine-hebert9870  wow I never knew failure wasn't an option was anything more than a saying. There is some impressive confidence in technology. Unmerited based on the experiences of spaceX but impressive non the less.

  47.  @bobdylan9117  by the way regulations that keep your power grid running during a winter storm isn't the same as telling people how to live their lives.

  48. Storing it in waste pools on site that are extremely dangerous. Or moving it to dry flask storage that is equally dangerous.

  49. Gas exploration is not short term. It is faster to bring wind solar and storage on line then to build new ff infrastructure.

  50. Don't worry the oil CEO running COP28 will be all over getting accountability for this...
