The notion of subsidizing a foreign country that literally has nuclear weapons is ludicrous. US voters would never stand for that.

- tock 1y agoNo voter would. Humans would rather die from climate change than try and work together. Our innate tribalism is what makes solutions to this problem hard.

- usr1106 1y agoThat seems to be a very American perspective. Several European countries have or had Green Parties being part of the government. A German Land (state in US terminology) has a had Green prime minister for 10 years. One could debate whether they have made sufficient impact, but it's certainly very far from "no voter".
- mulmen 1y agoWhy the dig at Americans? This is nothing more than tock’s misinformed personal opinion. The United States does work with India to develop green energy. California is famous for green initiatives and my state of Washington trades clean energy with Canada. I’d be shocked if we are unique in that. These agreements have been in place for generations. It’s obvious they have voter approval.
- tock 1y ago> Why the dig at Americans? America deserves the dig. Pulling out of the Paris accords. 22% renewable usage compared to the 60% of Germany. And now climate change denial. > The United States does work with India to develop green energy. lmao. > It’s obvious they have voter approval. I mean they did just vote in the guy who calls climate change a hoax.

- tock 1y agoI forgot about the Green parties! Good to see them having such support!
- usr1106 1y agoUnfortunately support has not been growing for 10 years or so. Nowadays far right parties are making the headlines in most European countries.
