So because one group in a large group says one thing, we shouldn't go along with the ideals of the whole simply because of a demographic within? Also, it's not a choice energy independence or not. It's a choice of energy independence in 10-30 years... or energy independence in 10-30 years with higher carbon credit taxes on everyone, possibly paying into a international tax that hurts the economy and everyone living a worse standard of life. I don't know why you chose to represent green society in such a way. I want to say that your example is a gross exaggeration focusing on taxes and lowered SoL as simple "fear mongering". But I honestly don't know what your standpoint is. Do you think that green technology and carbon credits go hand in hand? Can they not exist independently? Certainly, you must know something I do not, because nowhere have I seen a citizen carbon credit (if that's indeed what you are implying by 'everyone') co-dependent with with the push for green power sources. You also have a complete wrong focus on conserving that may or may not save us... when you COULD be working on Geoengineering. It doesn't have the added benefit of energy independence, but Geoengineering allows you to prevent global warming both manmade and natural. (Which DOES happen afterall) Additionally it gives you the knowledge to prevent global cooling both manmade and natural. Most of the global warming advocates are against geoengineering... because, I don't know why exactly, I imagine because it gets in the way of more taxes on the big nations. source for this? Which global warming advocates are against this? Because this seems to go hand in hand with the global warming solution. In fact, when I took geosci in university, the global warming solution was presented as many small solutions that end up as one large conglomeration of solutions, and one of those semi-solutions was geological engineering. How do you take them seriously when they are ignoring the MAIN soulution in favour of a "don't touch it and it'll go away" mentality. Who supports "don't touch it and it will go away?????" This seems to be the complete opposite! It's the people who are against GW who are saying to ignore it! |
