Your framing suggests that only a solution that does the same thing, i.e. produce X amounts of power is valid. This the core of the climate crisis. As long as we cling to our ways of life this will only get worse. Physics doesn't care about our arguments. As long as we keep using finite resources, it will make the problems worse.
- refulgentis 3y agoOther humans exist and crying about how they don't get it like you do and won't do the radical solutions like you recommend will get you nowhere Exhausted of your type. Other people care too. Just not to the point we're delusional Natural gas producer capture carbon good. Sorry that breaks you.
- Voultapher 3y agoI'd love to hear what exactly I said that you classify as delusional.
- refulgentis 3y agoIt's actually good that natural gas displaces coal and it's actually good that this natural gas producer captures CO2. Full stop. The delusional part is wishing we'd forgo gas and coal and just explain to people the power is out for the planet.
- Voultapher 3y agoPlease carefully re-read what I've written in the parent comment. I do not talk about wishing, nor suggesting we should change. My point was, if we add more CO2, we make the situation worse. Maybe natural gas and carbon capture make the situation worse less fast than before. But they are still making the situation worse. There is no bargaining with physics. These "solutions" also involve mining and manufacturing, which in itself are extractive practices, further advancing the use of limited resources. As an example, take a serial murderer. Now they say they plan to reduce their murdering from 3 people a month to 1. You argue that is good, full stop. I say it's less bad, but I wouldn't call the new situation good.
