We could progress to green technologies through free market innovation. We are not but we were for a time.

The energy sector is a special case for free markets since it is strategic to national interests and is heavily government influenced/manipulated. As you say there are people/companies with a vested interest in not changing over to green solutions, there are also many with a vested interest in changing over to green solutions. Follow the money. Climate change is a gold mine.

Maybe they should just issue guns - you know, like Obama phones?

No argument there. Lots of money to be made re-tooling and changing over. New jobs too.

But big oil will always sell it as politics and the sky is falling.

I guess we should use our smarts (gulp!) to do the right thing.
(sometimes I crack myself up)

You would actually be surprised at how much money big oil is dumping into green technologies. The problem big oil has is inconsistent energy policy. Big oil invests billions into projects that will produce profits in 5 years. If you’ve got a billion to invest right now do you invest in green technologies because Biden says he’s going to put oil and gas out of business or do you invest in building a new refinery because Biden says we need to lower gasoline prices by increasing supply? Nobody builds new refineries in the US.

It is little surprise that so few understand the effects of pollution on the earths climate. We have embraced the culture of discounting science, or scientific organizations, that tell us things we don't want to hear.

CA had very clean energy and a lot of it, too... they closed down their nuclear plants and now charge an arm, a leg, and a firstborn child per kwh... for wind? Solar? Or is it fossil fuels?

Look it up.

And there we have it. Guns are not the problem.

It takes people to use a gun so people must be the problem.

That is a slippery one. I still see some Biden signs out with We Believe in Science.

“The Science” only fits when it serves the purposes of the political party.

Dems decried Big Pharma, and weren’t going to take the ‘Trump Vaccine’.
The virus came from a lab was the only possibility. Saying it could have been genetically developed in a lab got you banned on social media.

The Science then said Take the Shot. Both shots. Then a booster, no another booster, while hiding the data for the next 75 years. How is that transparent?

Original science Don’t Wear A Mask. Followed by Everyone Wear a Mask. Then “The Science” said masks provide little to no protection. What do the Dems say? … wear a mask.

And the whole time, both party politicians have filled their pockets.

And don’t even let me start with the CDC and WHO. They are too sad to be laughing stocks.

You can’t really wonder why people think so much of this bull chit is… well, bull chit.

Can you?
