Onboarding process

The American people did elect Al Gore.

The Supreme Court said no.

There’s apparently nothing that says executive orders have to be legal.

It doesn’t even taste that bad. It’s just… revolting in a very non-obvious way. I can’t even tell you why it’s bad. But it is.

Not shit enough for a shitpost.

Bad for profits though. The sun is too free. How are they supposed to make money on this?

How’s Newsmax treating you?

Same thing as us. One big thing for everyone, not just centered on climate, is get semis (mostly) off the road. Primary method of shipping should be freight trains, for multiple reasons including environmental.

You could feed the damn trains with coal and it’d better for the environment than running a hundred semis across the country and all the road maintenance that requires.

Our last administration was doing pretty well on green energy. We can both do better than 80% if we include nuclear.

EVs over ICE vehicles. Charging stations. Encourage home solar and battery solutions.

Actually regulate industry.

Regulating the seas might be more difficult and require more cooperation.

Honestly it shouldn’t be hard to get out of the top 25 countries for per capita CO2 emissions.

Or maybe, just maybe, we should both be working on this. After all, we are right next to you on the list, and certainly heading the wrong direction.

I’m not sure “shutting the fuck up” is the right way to go.

It’s true.

Canada is #12 on CO2 emissions per capita, with mostly middle east oil countries above. The US is #16.

It’s almost like ICE is selectively recruiting this kind of people.

Compared to?

For many of the people I talk to, that can be assumed. Here, however…

Yes, it’s a scam. Doesn’t really matter what’s going on other than it’s a scam.

Do they even play the game?

Listen to or read the first chapter of The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson.

Kinda crazy to catch up the Fed in this.

Oh, this is a good one. I’ll have to keep this one in my back pocket.

It’s a great stand in for

To be fair, I’m not sure we could have eliminated gas from residential heating. That’s a big lift.

If we had gone nuclear and managed to make electricity pretty cheap, maybe.

I don’t think we’d have to fully end fossil fuels to stay under 2C. I think getting rid of them in power plants, road vehicles, and ocean vessels would have been enough.

And that probably would have taken less resources than these data center rollouts.

We could have kept oil in airlines and military.

That’s funny because the other complaints were that it takes too long.
