@markrobinowitz8473 you'll be surprised. I can't speak for all Libertarians but I can in my own words dismantle your arguments on those three issues; ecology and energy go hand in hand - the argument for climate change would have us go from fossil fuel and nuclear to full renewable. That is impossible to achieve no matter how altruistic it may seem. Hydroelectric via aquaducts and rivers means essentially to drastically alter the environment around the dam meaning a great die off of ecological factors; flora and fauna. Out at sea is an argument for that, but at best it only generates power at certain times of day, at worst it also potentially has risk aspects to marine life on the same scale as an oil spill when it comes to the mechanisms required.
Wind power - not only are they dangerous to avian wildlife in flight, you can't control the wind; it doesn't blow all the time.
Solar another - even if you layout panels across a desert, a sandstorm would immediately put a stop to that. Plus the materials are toxic elements for the most effective storing of energy: a break immediately spells a problem both for people and wildlife.
Then there's battery - what are you going to make it from? How are you going to charge them? What logistics are going to be enough to provide for a growing demand?
And on top of all those factors is the COST. the price to even attempt this would be extortionate. Unless everyone accepted the sort of society experienced in China it couldn't be done... and seeing that regime and it's antics; you want to talk to me about empathy.
As for your statement regarding claims; sounds to me like you're accusing a lot of people of capitalising on this issue. If that's true then it leaves no imagination as to what those in power could attempt and are suspected of doing. A good example is Musk claiming Tesla won't accept bitcoin for purchase and yet he's not selling or destroying any he's likely accumulated. Ignorances and intolerance? Now I often laugh when they're brought up because those who do are often the biggest hypocrites; those condemning intolerance tend to show no tolerance to those who disagree with their claims. And ignorance? A typical excuse to justify the imposing of a notion with a good fire back in the event of objection; even when it's valid.
It's the tragic comedy from those going on about equality, which I will tell you now; unless you want to go extreme nihilist - it's never going to happen; doing so contradicts the idea of evolution, which I noted you approve of. Evolution isn't just survival of the fittest but also those who can adapt the easiest to circumstances beyond control, regardless of its price. Tell me, would you regard discarding your empathy if it meant progressing, or does that conflict with what you would deem normal? Normal itself is semantic, that I personally admit.
