There is energy everywhere. There isn’t a lack of energy. Energy shortages are political issues. If you want energy fast then coal plants are cookie cutter and coal is easy to store and ship. If you have more time then nuclear can go anywhere.
Humanity needs more energy, not less. I’m tired of so-called “progressives” who are against the progress of the human species. Go suicide yourselves if that’s what you want but leave me alone, I don’t want to freeze.
- kypro 4y agoThere might be energy everywhere, but there's not gas in Europe's gas pipelines and it gets really cold here in the winter. Also, however "cookie cutter" coal power plants are, I doubt they can be spun up in months.
- gadders 4y agoIt's like planting a tree - the best time is ten years ago, the second best time is now.
- thinkindie 4y agoyou rather die for all the other things that will affect human life in the next years? Do you rather die for pollution, high temperatures, flooding, etc etc?
- seibelj 4y agoHighly exaggerated outcomes. But you can ameliorate increased heat, flooding, and pollution. You can’t fix freezing and starving to death. I’ll take the latter over letting humanity wither over some insane concept of “Mother Earth” as if a non-living planet cares or has thoughts and feelings. Earth will be fine - it is a rock. We only care about earth insofar it suits us. I don’t want humanity to die out and I don’t see humans as a cancer. We must thrive and grow and flourish and that requires energy.
- boredumb 4y agoFreezing to death versus possibly dying under a environmentalists future doomsday prediction is an easy and obvious choice.
- durnygbur 4y agoEntire coal related business in Central Europe is in hold in deadlock by virtually mafias. Poland in some corrupted convulsions is attempting to import coal from... Indonesia... by now they've mostly lost money on it.
- gadders 4y agoThis. I'd love to live in a world where all energy is renewable and non-polluting, but I'd rather get there more slowly without thousands of people freezing to death [1]. And those figures are just for the UK - I'd imagine the figures are worse in less wealthy, colder countries in Eastern Europe.
