Framing aside it’s a fact that the quality of life will be lowered for some.
What you’re saying isn’t wrong, but it is what it is. This is a political issue, acting as if switching entirely to renewables will not result in some short term sacrifices is well, disingenuous.
- titzer 5y agoI will still challenge these assertions. Lowering quality of life....to only a bazillion times better than a couple generations ago. When in reality the things people would be giving up are gluttonous wastes of energy like private jets and affordable vacations in the Caribbean (a new thing!).
- titzer 5y agoI'll even go further to say that reducing fossil fuel usage for transportation (cars) and heating (natural gas) will improve quality of life for many. Air pollution is majorly bad for people's lungs, brains, and overall health. Not to mention the complete waste of time that rush hour represents.
- endisneigh 5y agoSure that’s true if it were free to do so. Tell me, how do you do so in practice without lowering the quality of life for some? Trivially you could just ban those things. I think we’d agree in saying that would be very bad for many.
