And by killing the aminals that eat plants, the plants are then able to continue to grow and capture CO2 while providing the oxygen we need to live. :sunglasses:

Kind of like when Richard Hammond announced that he would buy a ā€œgreen vehicleā€ to make the environmentalists happy.

God loves the color green. There are more shades of green than any other color in the world. Marines wear green and God loves his Marines. Marines make the grass grow green. God loves the color green.
Go green because not everybody can be a Marine.

Green New Deal in Wyoming :roll_eyes:

Personally, I donā€™t think windmills are ugly, theyā€™re a sign of progress. We need to harness wind and solar energy. However not as a total power supply. But as an addition to natural gas and oil. What we see in the green new deal is a way for the politically connected to enrich themselves. Ban the use of gas vehicles and appliances, and the grid canā€™t keep up with demand. wind power on itā€™s own is not cheap or effective but it can be used as a supplement. So when the wind power fails and needs to be bailed out, I think that politicians like gordon might just have a hand in the kiity. From what Iā€™ve observed is that anything that a politician came make money from is good for the taxpayers. So when the federal government gives millions to bail out anything, I think only a small percentage of it ends up going to the cause. The ā€œgreen new dealā€ is ripe for such corruption. And the current administration are willing participants.

The age of cheap oil and gas are coming to end so I agree we do need to work on responsibly transitioning to viable alternatives.

Wind has a lot of issues though and even large scale solar projects can create problems as well. There is a lot that is not green with the current way green energy projects are being done. But solar panels on roofs and over parking areas and perhaps even smaller scale wind projects make a lot of sense and are needed provide energy security into the future. At least until fusion becomes a viable option.

He is certainly significantly contributing to the current spike. But most of the easy to get to oil has been gotten. We now have to rely on fracking to get to much of what is left and that is much more expensive, very water intensive and water table polluting and even causes earthquakes. Also the quality of the remaining oil is lower and requires a lot more refining. There is a reason why the Saudis are taking significant steps to diversify away from oil and it is not all due to the current ā€œgreenā€ energy push which will likely never replace our dependence on oil on its own.

The cost of fossil fuels will continue to rise over time regardless of who is in the White House.
