I don't really feel good about wishing death on people, but I really hope that the next house those retards do this to belongs to a strong believer in the castle doctrine.
@grant to be fair, we do need to start moving away from oil use for transportation. Over the next few years, dozens of electric vehicle models will be released and that should spark more sales in the public. By that time Tesla may even be producing affordable cars (who knows). I don’t agree with the logic in the case, but ultimately that pipeline will become a stranded asset.
To me this is more of a principle thing. We'll move away from coal because its not as good. Not because the government or a judge says I don't like it. If they can do this to coal or oil they can do it to anything.
A few wind turbines were almost built in Alabama and some group opposed it on faulty logic. They literally complained about the environmental impact of stirring up the dirt - as if it was a majorly serious issue. Hundred bucks says they wouldn’t care if it was a Walmart.
That's what I mean by principle. The problem is that use of power not the target. Sort of the same thing we have with speech. Just because we don't like the target doesn't mean the government should have that power to block or restrict.
Yeah. I agree. This is why I’m so concerned about the environmental movement. It’s always been ideological bullcrap, but I’m worried that they’ll get even worse with tactics. These people will literally sob over climate change. You have to agree with their narrow view on climate change. It may get more extreme. The antinuclear ideology is already very strong.
@Salacious Swanky Cat Yeah, I dislike that many issues are presented as binaries. I suspect that many of the people claiming global warming is a hoax don't really believe that, but say so because the media and public perceive the issue as binary. I've met many outdoorsman who care very much about the environment and wildlife but vote republican. They also usually have a better grasp of the local ecosystems than the "experts" in the government who are often far away.
It was one of the best power related technologies we had, but because of, what, three incidents of incompetence or accidents in the entire history of nuclear power, it's not allowed to be used because the public thinks its dangerous.
@grant well, the biggest issue is that the republicans don’t address climate change. In my state election, I voted for democrats for the public service commission positions.
