They love the cops until they enforce rules that they don’t agree with: mask mandates, gun bans, barring entry into a federal building, social distancing (sorry, you can’t attend your weekly cult meeting), and of course whenever a corrupt cop is treating them like they do minorities.

Could you imagine the complaints they’d have if Conservatives were regularly stereotyped, pulled over and vehicles searched with drug dogs?

Yes, a carbon tax is a great solution, but we the people have a hard enough time as it is to convince the deniers/brainwashed into realizing that climate change is a real threat. So, they not only don’t support us, but sometimes fight us.

We need time that we don’t have, so I feel like this is a great backup option of dumping money and efforts into improving our situation, educating the public, and providing cheaper and better options to finally force the hands of the greedy elite.

That’s just Hollywood, folklore and other imaginative story tellers. I believe that we hope to at least get a signal back from some location that lets us know we’re not alone. Similar to being stuck out in the ocean all by ourselves with no sight of shore or life at all, just calling out or using flares and hoping for any sort of response.

What’s the worst that can happen? Aliens causing a massive extinction of life on Earth? We’re already doing that ourselves and pretending we’re not. So, I’d say the benefits outweigh the negatives. But, so far we aren’t getting back any responses, and we might not ever either.
