Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Shirani  
Quite true. They ignore China and Saudi Arabia while demanding western countries fit their bill.
 
Germany is a cannery in the coalmine. They tried to go full green and it didn’t work. They either had a surplus of energy they had to pay people to use or a mass drought of no power, and for it all doubled their carbon emissions. Look it up.
 
The U.S. lost thousands of jobs thanks to bills the bumbler we had last signed and the only thing that came out of it was a bigger dependency on Saudi oil, because they wanted to show they cared.
 
You know what, maybe we should invest money on harvesting the ice chunk in stead of worrying about it. Send to water to place people keep complaining don’t have clean water.
 
There we go, solved a problem right there.

@neutralgrey  
because climate change activists keep pushing for things that most people don’t want…carbon credits, forced compliance. Its why people push against this shit. A better solution is to actually find an economically FEASIBLE way to mitigate change and not brute force it on people.

@Shirani  
Then how about investing in the green technology industry and create new jobs?

@neutralgrey  
Nuclear energy’s pretty green.
 
/j

@PonyPon  
True. How do you dispose of the waste again? Don’t you have to like bury it or something or am I think of something else?

@neutralgrey  
That would be fine if we could get the cost down to a manageable level. AND the government cant make it mandatory to buy the products once they come out.  
@PonyPon  
I am also open to nuclear plants.

@PonyPon  
Except the Nuclear waste and the fact that if there a leak in the system.
 
It would be like Pyrat.

@igotnopicks  
you mean pripyat.

@neutralgrey  
@Shirani  
@igotnopicks  
You three all missed this:
 
@PonyPon  

@Ereiam  
What is that?

@Ereiam  
Not to say I don’t want it talked about.

@PonyPon
 
@neutralgrey
 
@Shirani  
Hark? What’s this? Could it be that we actually agreed on something, because I wouldn’t be opposed to Nuclear energy either despite it’s obvious dangers?
 
Well how about that.
 
 
@igotnopicks  
This is true, however.

@neutralgrey  
a /joke.
 
like /sarcasm, but a joke.

@Ereiam  
even if it was a joke it still is a legit energy source. and much MUCH more sustainable in the long run.

We should move beyond nuclear energy.

@PonyPon  
Nuclear energy is a clean renewable resource though that has proven to be an effective way to handle human civilization and climate.
 
Albeit it’s also very dangerous, which has also been proven time and again.

@Hypnosryan  
why? It is one of the most efficient energy sources we have.

Hm, only downside is the waste but nothing that can’t be solved if people put their heads together

Another thing I’ve seen is something I like to call the “Green scams”
 
water Seer, solar freakin roadways and others. These are all just things that have swindled people all to show how environment friendly they are. Millions go into these and they’ve amounted to nothing.
 
If money is to be invested, it needs to be invested in things that can be proven, not just a pretty CGI render picture and good salesman pitch. People need to stop being so easily dooped just because it sounds good.

@neutralgrey  
if we could miniaturize it ala Fallout we would be in the clear.

@Hypnosryan  
Agreed. But our options are very limited granted, we could put more resources into extending our knowledge to improve solar and geothermic energies.

@fobone  
solar and geothermal would be the best alternatives. nuclear would be a last resort.

@Shirani  
It’s actually very dirty and expensive. A lot of money that goes into nuclear energy could’ve been spent on clean energy. You’re also more likely to get cancer if you live near a nuclear power plant.
 
And when uranium becomes scarce, there’ll be wars started over it.

@Hypnosryan  
do you realize how much uranium we have on the planet? IN THE OCEANS? We have enough for over a million YEARS!

@angrybrony  
Solar’s actually kind of inefficient.
