Is gp flagged because their points were all wrong or because they violated HN rules? I’d like to see their points which you refuted rather then downvote brigaded à la reddit. Not to say I think you’re wrong or anything positive towards fossil fuels, just in principle I’d rather let someone wrong have their say and get debunked.

  I did, and it looks like they wrote something that's just wrong, not against HN guidelines. It feels pedantic to make a stand here, but I don't think this is what flagging is for.

    If you believe that a dead post should not be dead, you can click on its timestamp and then click the "vouch" link. That will bring it back from the dead.

FWIW you can enable "showdead" on your config page.

A lot of leftists like to think they know about concepts we all would like to see. They get super upset though when you get down to the bean counting because they think we should revoke an economy for the sake of some greater cause. We all want green power. However we also expect the lights to turn on when you hit the light switch. Every. Time. And at an affordable rate. For some reason many leftists want this utopia of workers rights and high pay along with an equitable distribution of wealth but then forget many of their ideological polices if implemented would be idiosyncratic to each other. Whats the point of having higher wages is proportionally the expenses you dole out are still the same as before? How do higher electricity costs because of green energy help the working class? Leftists treat their beliefs worse than a religion that it's sickening to hear more than actual christian garbage thrown around every now and then.

    Fiscal rationality cannot coexist with idiosyncratic policies
