Didn't Germany just make a law that will cost 50 billion Euro and will - in the span of six years - save the CO2 that China puts out in a day. Brilliant decisio

Germany could shut down everything tomorrow and it wouldn't make a dent. Not making a dent _and_ ruining your economy will not make anyone follow your lead either.
- ZeroGravitas 3y agoThe unsupported part of your comment is the "ruining your economy" claim. Did someone with connections to the fossil fuel industry tell you that Contracts for difference would do that? They seem to have worked well to provide cheap alternatives to fossil fuels via market based incentives in many other countries and industries. You didn't explain why you think they'll be such a disaster in this instance? Do you actually have a reason for thinking so?
- piva00 3y ago> Not making a dent _and_ ruining your economy will not make anyone follow your lead either. Can you stop parroting the incredibly stupid line of "ruining your economy", please? It's extensively used by the oil industry lobby/propaganda to disparage any change that will affect their bottom line, you are (willingly or not) just repeating bullshit from lobbyists. And looking stupid while doing it.
