Explain to me, in a realistic way, how you meet the demands of electricity in Pittsburgh in the year 2022 without thermal power plants. I understand you want to punish polluters, but there’s not a viable alternative yet.

Do you know anything about Title V air permits? Coming in and out of compliance is a common occurrence and companies and regulators work closely together to set standards based on the best available technology. If you’re concerned about the air quality, take it up with the PA DEQ.

Normally capitalism doesn’t include the state throwing people in jail for producing things but you’re right, I’m sure a free market solution would come about from that in time.

If there was a threat of imprisonment for non-compliance for air pollution, we’d probably not have a reliable supply of electricity anymore.

Then we should all probably never interact with anyone face-to-face ever again without taking COVID tests daily, because asymptomatic people could be doing that everyday.

Also if the kids are vaccinated why does it matter? If you don’t think the vaccine will prevent kids from being impacted with COVID, then do you not believe in vaccines?

Oh no! Children!? You mean the demographic that’s least likely to die of COVID?! If only he got the vaccination that has little effect on transmissibility and really only helps the person who takes it.
