To add to this... the government killed the alternative which was nuclear. If the government were serious about ending CO2 emissions they should start building a massive number of nuclear. Hitting Shell like this is a disaster of policy.

China creates more CO2 than the rest of the world combined. Destroying a company like this while giving China a free pass is essentially killing competition on China’s behalf. Also, there is no live experiment showing CO2 is the source of g

Check out thorium, the nuclear fuel that is superior to Uranium and infact will eat nuclear waste as part of its breakdown process. Los Alamos built a reactor that fit on a plane circa 1967 and it worked. However, this fission doesn’t produ

Then any mainstream media outlet and count how many tiles they talk about racial relations and how it’s dividing America. The fact that the left believes it’s anti racist demonstrates the power of mainstream media propaganda.
