I get really frustrated with politics surrounding fossil fuels vs. renewables. I feel like renewables are the future, will add a valuable skillset, and are very achievable.
But then it feels like we have a significant number of politicians who won't push for renewables because they are holding onto this "climate change is a myth" narrative, and are getting money from fossil fuels.
This is why we can't have nice things.
- kerbalspacepro 8y agoPoliticians don't push for renewables because it doesn't get them any points with their constituencies. You can point to energy lobbyists as a reason for this, but it isn't necessary to do so. You can just ask the average citizen- "how much do you care?" and the answer is low to not at all (ignore the polls, look at their actual actions and behaviors).
