Amazing news! And what a cute squirrel!

I know Germany has wasted a ton of money on solar and wind but there's nuclear as well. The political will to change was definitely missing and is now expedited because of Russia.

2022 may have been the turning point.

Solar technology has improved leaps and bounds in the past 10 years, making it more affordable. It's easy to make demands for something to be done earlier but you have to take R&D into account.

Hemp is a great material for fabrics and had been cultivated extensively in the US back to Colonial times

They could've done this 10 years ago but no, they were happy about status quo until Russia got crazy.

Now if only government will stop subsidizing coal. I don't know why we should even need to burn coal in the 21st century.

Now is this 99 percent of US coal plants or 99 percent worldwide?

Coating found to cause massive reproduction failures in fish: Fish stocks collapse. Billions may starve

Hahah what absolute bollocks. I think the energy crisis might have been caused by a certain nation deciding to start a certain invasion, no? Followed by that free market conservatives love so much enabling massive price gouging? You know there's no actual shortage of supply right?

Oh hang on, you're whingeing about "globalism", so I'm gonna guess you haven't got the best grasp of the European energy market.

Water full of shit for the next 30 years, let's not go giving the fuckin' Tories any credit on that one. Or are they planning on sea level rises to take care of that requirement?

SO much easier to just wear cotton, hemp, bamboo, banana leaf textiles.

We're doing fine, thanks.

future newsline: Coating adheres to human skin and sometimes into the stomach liner preventing it from absorbing nutrients

they shut down the vast majority of their other nuclear, coal and lng power plants causing an energy crisis thats forcing people to revert to wood fire heating their homes while wearing half their wardrobes, all to try and prove a hairbrained globalist point

Can we actually do this? Will we survive?

You don't get a fact, you earn it. If you got this fact then AlpacaBot thinks you deserved it!

Stop using synthetic fabrics. Start using more cotton, wool, alpaca hair, bamboo, etc

I think you vastly underestimate how much plastic we use and how optimized it is.

The global production of new plastics is a few hundred million tons per year, not including textiles (elastan, nylon and anything polyester is plastic). Then we have a ton of different kinds of plastics, mixed with thousands of different other components, to get the right results. A producer of packaging machines once said their most complex machine is for wrapping cheese, as that were like 5 layers of different plastics with different functions. Masks and other PPE is also mostly just plastic, and one of the really resilient kind.

We can substitute a lot of plastic, or simply not use anything as a substitute in some cases (thinking of the image of peeled oranges in plastic containers here, thats a complete waste), but that is way harder to do than people like to think. There is another reason than just cost why we use plastics.
