Trump is a fucking orange chode eating shit for brains.
-
Every single bad thing you can imagine, they are doing. The USA simply has villains in charge, and they've set themselves the task of destroying anything that might sustain or improve life for anyone except themselves. In movies when this happens, real Americans take them down. In real life apparently they just sit and watch.
-
I honestly wish there WAS something we could do but at this point its not logistically possible. I wish half the country could flood the capital and protest but the US is simply too large. It takes days and hundreds of dollars to travel even a few states away if you cant fly. I understand your frustration but you gotta cut us some slack while we figure this out.

No need to travel. Organise a general strike

So are you an American not doing anything, or a foreigner who has no idea what it's like to actually be in the situation?
-
I'm a foreigner with an opinion. I talk to American friends every few days. I have some idea of what you're up against and I recognize it's not easy to do anything to slow this down or stop it. Trump's threatening my country and so are our own right-wing politicians, and I'm aware we all face similar difficulties: it's not easy to know what to do, and not easy to organize it even when you have an idea. But I can see it will take something unusual in the USA, not just waiting for an election.
Saying you're sitting and watching was unfair of me. Just an expression of frustration watching what they're doing to your country and threatening to do to ours.

a foreigner
Oof. Masks off all up in here, I guess.
-
They're just another US obsessed person from another country cosplaying and trying to tell Americans what to do.
But if an American criticizes thoer country things are surely different.

They don't sit and watch. They cheer them on.

When techni-optimists where talking about green tech, I called the renewables ban. Misanthrope wins again!

This motherfucker is still on this?
He's a less lovable Don Quixote.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter” is how they sign all of their fascistic orders. They think it’s all funny. I promise you they’re laughing at all this shit.
-
This seems like a slamdunk lawsuit. We get to pay the penalties for this asshole's stupidity.
-
We're going to be paying in so many ways for decades because of that asshole

This is demonstrably false, wind farms offset their carbon cost in a matter of single digit years and then it's pure profit.
These numbers exist, you don't have to take propaganda at face value. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240516122608.htm

No, no, you don't understand. It is far cleaner to dig huge holes in mountains, destabilizing the ground and washing the excess sludge into people's drinking water. Then, build a giant plant that belches radioactive debris and helps heat up the climate. Oh ya, also kill the people that produce it early, especially if you can use children.

It's less co2 emissions after 5 to 8 months.

What can "never" mean here?
For coal, however, if you invest 1kWh you typically get below 0.4 kWh in return.
So people run coal plants to destroy energy? Like, you have too much electricity and so you build a coal plant to get rid of it?
I'm not sure that whatever metric this source uses matches what most people think when they hear "energy amortization".

It's a fun day when I see a new talking point.
I thought about doing the math to demonstrate that it's not true, but I feel like just having a good belly laugh and moving on is probably a better use of my time.
