We can’t fund school lunches but we are going to build this? Nah bro…… this isnt on the priority list.

No, you can't lol. That's like saying it is okay to litter if there's no trash can because you would prefer proper disposal

Any one youtuber could do this today.

Honestly, voice synthesis technology is probably doing more of the legwork here than the intelligence of the machine.

People are emotion driven. Even knowing what I know, it would affect me.

This won't be a discussion with nuance.

Uh, ya it is, its a complete and total non sequitur.

Watch:

"The hell, gary just stole my wallet!"

"But didn't gary make the wallet?"

If you don't see the problem with that second statement, i have some bad news for you.

Rich people will always need poor people to feel rich.

This absolute 100% pure whole chuck bullshit.

Renewables are already cheaper to produce.

They are already ready to be intalled globally.

The problem is that we have been poisned by this "if it was better then the market would do it" nonsense. Thats not how markets have ever worked.

If you want renewables you have to vote for policies that will inplement renewables, ban money from politics, bar congressmen from trading, etc. Nothing is going to just happen.

I know in a Larry Niven Sci Fi book, skin color was a fashion choice, and people would modify it to follow trends. Perhaps that is where we are heading as humans, at least the lucky wealthy ones.

It didn't come off as nonsensical in the OP's statement considering they were saying that the wealthy would only build their houses on large amounts of land.

> That said, have you anything to offer me in the form of factual critique over my statements?

This has already been done all over this comment section. If you still don’t understand how your claims are factually incorrect (apparently you don’t) then there’s probably no hope for your last 2 brain cells.

That argument kinda falls flat when you are talking about new oil drilling, and for not even that big of a resevoir, that will have devastating ecological impacts.

My apologies, I don't quite understand your statement. What is 'inherently not natural'? And what is 'a system like this'?

More like he who hasn’t ruined the environment by spilling millions of barrels of oil into the ocean may cast the first stone

Thats not what carbon credits are. Are you serious?

You are right, this but its also not native land or public forests.

Thank you; makes sense!

That's quite a thin skin you've got there sport. I kid lol.

If you can't handle a little cajoling without flying off the handle then I'm sorry for provoking you my dude. I can see how without proper context and actively playing it out as a joke that would be rude and it won't happen again.

That said, have you anything to offer me in the form of factual critique over my statements?

What a strange and nonsensical counterpoint.

Good on you. Don't let the doubters get to you, it's easier for many people to bash ideas down than to support genuine change.

Fossil fuel means that its formed from decomposed organic matter trapped under rock.

Not that its made from literal fossils. Which are stone.

Also what the hell are you talking about? We find fossil from hundreds of millions of years ago anywhere from thousands of feet to a dozen feet down. Thats not how geology works....

We need to reduce global reliance on Russian oil, and have supply available to reduce the impact of price shock events during war time. The USA also needs to replenish its strategic oil reserves.

You can drill for oil and still move towards a greener tomorrow.

Nah...if there is an economic incentive to be ignorant, then that explains his reasoning pretty well.

The President can tell his cabinet to do whatever he wants. The BLM Director is not part of his cabinet, in not so many words they do in fact report to congress.

Regarding your other question about Biden's flippant nature, it's important to note that his stance on oil and gas development has not changed significantly since he took office. During his campaign and since becoming president, he has emphasized the need to transition away from fossil fuels and towards clean energy in order to address climate change and "create a more sustainable future". This has included a focus on promoting renewable energy sources like wind and solar power, as well as investments in electric vehicles and other low-emission technologies.

However, it is also true that the Biden administration has faced some criticism and scrutiny over its approach to oil and gas development. In particular, there has been some concern among industry groups and some politicians that the administration's policies could harm the economy and lead to job losses in regions that depend heavily on oil and gas production.

In response to these concerns, the administration has taken steps to reassure the industry and to emphasize that its policies are focused on promoting a gradual and responsible transition away from fossil fuels, rather than an abrupt or drastic shift. For example, the administration has emphasized the importance of reducing methane emissions from oil and gas operations, which can help to mitigate the environmental impacts of fossil fuel production while also supporting domestic production of natural gas.

But I guess we could just blame it on his age if you'd prefer to approach it without any nuance, it is funnier that way.

> I approached you civilly

Your first reply to me:

> Hit me up when you understand anything kiddo.

Once again, full of shit.
