Actually most candidates are pretty open about their energy policies.

You can’t vote for Biden then complain he’s not Bernie

I personally have my suspicions that the anti-nuclear “movement” is ultimately funded by fossil fuel interests gaslighting as environmentalists

I blame voters for constantly electing fossil fuel executives into our government, who then nominate more people with fossil fuel ties to the judiciary.

Not only are current policies inadequate, at least in America, I bet it will be illegal to attempt to close power plants by 2050, and we will most certainly be using our military and international presence to keep the world using our products.

Pretty much the same situation we have now, just with more judicial precedent preventing any civil or public action against the fossil industry.

Voters have shown they do not want change, so there will be none

Well we just passed that $800B military bill, maybe we can bring everyone else down to our level

Trees also exist at the whim of whoever manages that property. A lot can happen in 50 years, you can’t guarantee favorable political winds or rule out accidents.

Just look what Bolsonaro did to the Amazon in a short amount of time. Additionally, as global warming increases the severity of droughts, we should be expecting more forest fires.

Unfortunately I don’t think trees alone will be enough, although we should definitely be doing it anyways

What if I told you communists were interested in planetary science?

Pretty biased study with a narrow scope

China never had the brutal imperialism that defined western economics the past few centuries, so they have a blank slate. They certainly have their problems, but violence in the recent centuries has been largely domestic, they didn’t have a recent slave trade and certainly weren’t aggressors in WWII. They’ve always been insular

We’ve done nothing and we’re all out of ideas!

The “formulation” is probably one of the least important aspects of improving this issue on a national scale. Diet and consumer access to healthy food options is the most important, that’s what hits certain communities who aren’t well served. Next is the cost of insulin, which has sky-rocketed, that hits poor and uninsured people the hardest. When people start rationing their insulin, all your optimization and catered treatments go out the window.

We need green spaces with gardens, quality markets, places to exercise, affordable access to cheap medicine. Things everyone wants, but becoming less and less accessible

I’d argue stop subsidizing corn and find an alternative national beverage to soda, that’s not diet soda.

Until we pull ourselves out of our cultural tailspin and establish an improving baseline, any benefits of further drug developments will disappear into the statistical background of deeper social problems

I find this humorous considering Yales graduates include titans of industry that sculpted the 20th century and they did it by being stone cold killers when compelled.

Hey bud, I’m one of those communists. We like upvoting, it’s solidarity

Or as Elon calls it when hes exposing himself on an airplane or being Reply Guy roflcopter on his catered online experience, it’s “freedom of speech”.

The side of climate denial will always have a lot of money behind it. Just about every point of action we make within our economy releases greenhouse gasses, so conversely, we need less economic action. We can do that by consuming less or by having less people. Most products are ultimately mined, with a carbon intensive processing and logistic networks behind them. Asking the people who built globalization and profit at every stage of the global capitalist economy to fix this is preposterous. We need a radically different economy which means we need radical changes which are incapable of coming up from within, and will be difficult and alienating to all kinds of people.

Maybe these will get auctioned to someone more responsible after the repo men show up at Elons door

The current administration invited Exxon lobbyists to write the infrastructure legislation that congress passed.

Yeah democrats are “better”, but it’s still just running down the train tracks as opposed to republicans who deny there’s a train

Literally all our government does is reap the profits from stolen land and siphon it off to the wealthy.

Edit: Sorry, we also try to bomb poor people to pieces, sometimes that doesn’t work though

Nice. I’m an electrician and used to do service for solar. Those things will provide you energy for the rest of your life. I’ve seen 30 year old panels producing like they’re a week old

Unfortunately so many of the worlds governments were taken over by fossil fuel cabals in the 20th century and they built economies they could dominate, which means dependence on their products.

People are going to have to start counting their kWs and the only people who will have surplus energy are the ones who invest in renewables

Genocide is a pretty strong word and I don’t feel it is accurate, the UN hasn’t called it that either. Yeah they aren’t being very respectful to their cultural sensitivities, but they are also preserving it in their own way.

I feel like you’re purposely evoking images of Nazi Germany which I think is little disingenuous and doesn’t reflect the reality of the situation because frankly, people aren’t being murdered

You think that’s about to happen?

How entire agriculture industry is a scam. We need a new homestead act, especially considering it’s so hard for anyone to find housing.

There’s a reason the communists have the mainland and the US backed regime is isolated on a little island.

Like it or not, China had a revolution one way, it’s was massively successful, and millions of people in China have been lifted out pf poverty since then. Modern China is a stable state the successfully meets the needs of its citizens

Also the Qing dynasty was weakened by a century of extreme violence (much of it directed by the British against the Chinese during the opium wars), hardly the actions of one man

I think we should bioengineer some kind of bacteria or maybe even self replicating robots that are capable of destroying oil and make it impossible to refine. Something that would just take one person slipping it in the well.

People support the oil lords with religious fervor, whether it’s the Saudi kings (decedents of Muhammad) or the US Supreme Court (Evangelicals), so I don’t think seizing the supplies through direct conflict is feasible, as conservatives across the world would view it as a holy war challenging Gods graces

This country already socialized agriculture once, it was called “the homestead act”.

Socializing agriculture would mean breaking up big farms and then subsidizing and paying individuals to grow food.

Our current system of spraying a layer of pesticides multiple times a year over large swaths of the country so we can have as much corn syrup pumping through our blood as possible is terrifying to me. That’s why I’m offering solutions

Socializing agriculture would literally mean paying people to eat healthier choices from their gardens and it would give more property to more people

Hey, I’m totally down to socialize agriculture after we socialize healthcare and overthrow the worlds oil kings
