Who cares. Fix the big problems first. The general public is already complaining about subsidizing EVs, renewables, etc. It’s ridiculous the amount of fossil fuels we still burn for electricity. This “shame, shame” garbage that people did n

It’s 2.5-3% of all global emissions. People who complain about aviation do more harm than good. We would accomplish more by closing a few coal power plants and replacing them with renewables or nuclear. And no one would even notice. Can you

We’ve had 4 decades. If you’re still telling people flying is the problem, then you’re part of the problem Where is all that renewable power we were promised every time we said “use nuclear”. We still haven’t hit peak coal.

I think he’s really just trying to spur your imagination into imagining if someone like that had lived longer. Anyway, this conversation has been had repeatedly. Many people seem to be unable to imagine that positive benefit of much longer

Cheap and plentiful fossil fuels. We’re rolling back CAFE standards too.

Don’t forget environmentalists have been fighting against nuclear energy for decades. Update: Since I’m being downvoted I’m going to add a little sting: Good luck with your solar power web servers and skipping flights. Poor judgement really

You’re part of the problem, not the solution. There’s an entire political backlash against EVs because of mandates. The Trump Administration actually prevented California from having EV quotas. Simply let in EVs from China and let American
