  1. Personally I just wish my taxes weren’t being used to so heavily subsidize cars and their required infrastructure. If those free loaders want to drive around so bad they can pay for it themselves

  2.  @Tammy10018  pov: you dont know what you’re talking about

  3. Yeah fossil fuel subsidies are pretty ridiculous

  4. Yeah fossil fuel subsidies are pretty ridiculous aren’t they

  5.  @Amonynous  nope, not even close my dude, even at the low estimates, something like 41% of the lifetime cost of a car is subsidized, parking is even worse
    7
  6. Long expensive construction time, ongoing maintenance costs, long expensive decommissioning. And unstable countries need power too, unless you want to give Somalia fissile material Commercial fusion will not happen in our lifetime

  7. Then you don’t know very much but thank you for sharing your uninformed opinion

  8. Except no one is dumping fossil fuels in one fell swoop but whatever

  9. Just wait till you learn just how much fossil fuel are subsidized(hint it’s billions more than renewables). And do you know how much nuclear costs? Both to build and decommission “Renewables are far worse for the environment” source: trust me bro

  10.  @rw-xf4cb  sounds like using oil as fuel is a waste of valuable resource then!

Do you think co2 or ch4 being IR active is a conspiracy?

  33.  @MinkieWinkle  that’d be great if we had time but we don’t. And Fusion is only twenty years away remember
    1
  34.  @MinkieWinkle  I was being facetious about fusion. While it would have been great for the west to continue building reactors en masses and not stopping after Chernobyl, fact is the didn’t continue and now the reactors built in the Cold War are nearing the end of their useful lifespans. To build more reactors will take years to decades and cost billions, the electricity they produce will no longer be the cheapest electricity available and at the end of their lives the decommissioning will take yet more years and cost yet more billions. None of that spells “best option”

  46.  @HandleMitCare  well the first hint was you used doesn’t instead of don’t because you don’t know that the word data is plural. The second was you said that climate alarmist lie which means you have poor critical thinking skills in general and reading skill in particular. I bet you’re the sort of person who listens to the mainstream media and Greta thunberg without taking a second to think about it
    1
  47.  @HandleMitCare  well you said “data doesn’t” instead of “data don’t” so we’re starting off bad and then you say “climate alarmists lie” which tell me you listen to what the msm talking heads say without critical thought

Because weather an climate are very complex systems "Have there recently been US hurricanes equal to those in 1938 and 1954?" you mean category Vs? yeah, there was Lee, Ian, Lorenzo, Dorian, Michael, Maria, Irma, Matthew, Felix, Dean, Wilma, Rita, Katrina, Emily, Ivan and Isabel and thats only in the 21st century in the atlantic "Midwestern fires such as those in Minnesota in the early 20th century?"

  76.  @georgehetty7857  why do fossil fuels? Since 2015 the British gov has given fossil fuel companies £20bn more than they gave to renewables. Seems like fossil fuel companies are a bunch of lazy greedy freeloaders to me

  77.  @zoeen5650  “cannot be stored” batteries are a globalist conspiracy “Electricity cannot build or transport” yes because if there is one thing electricity cannot do, it’s run a motor “Barely pay themselves back before they’re obsolete and can’t be recycled” I don’t think you understand very much. For example, the word “obsolete”

  78. You do know fossil fuels receive more subsidies, right?

  79. Every couple years some Silicon Valley tech bro type tries to make this sort of thing a reality and it’s always a failure. We already have a much better way of storing energy with gravity, it’s called pumped hydro storage. And that block would store about 166 Wh, enough to run the average electric tea kettle on high for 11 min

  80. That does not store nearly as much energy as you think it does. Besides we already have a better way to store energy with gravity, it’s called pumped hydro

  84.  @MinkieWinkle  “you need to get the electricity in the first place” well good news, we’ve already got renewables producing electricity so we can use that electricity “Mining” you don’t think electricity can be used for mining? Interesting position if nothing else “The furnaces” yeah, good thing there’s no such thing as an electric arc furnace, else this would look silly And even if we assume that there are things that can only be done by oil and gas, well that’s all the more reason to conserve them by not using them up in domestic energy production. Acting like this is some big “gotcha” argument just makes it look like you’re not thinking before speaking

  87.  @romanpolanski4928  I doubt that. You know the CEGB went defunct more than two decades ago, right? Can you stop living in the past already? For example the O’Callaghan paper from Oxford last September seemed pretty conclusive that offshore wijd could power Britain alone(and you wouldn’t have to use any land in Wales). But Oxford scholars are hardly school boys from 50 years ago so who knows who’s right

  88.  @romanpolanski4928  I doubt that. You do know CEGB went defunct 20 years ago, right? Stop living in the past.
