Yes, giving up coal generated electricity for anything else for the past half century would have been difficult? Now we go around asking people not to eat meat, fly, etc.
Pay now, pay later usually works out to be more painful when addressed later.
- jrochkind1 4y agoAt some point it's going to beyond anyone "asking" people to do anything. It already is, for some people. Nobody is "asking" you to become a refugee when the place you lived is underwater, or has too much wet-bulb temp for human life; nobody "asks" anyone to starve when they don't have enough food. Pretty uncomfortable things that will occur to people who did not volunteer for it. The "asking" to give up comfort is an attempt to avoid the later worse consequences that will not be voluntary.
