Of all the anti climate change arguments being made in this thread, the one I have the hardest time getting my head around is "It will destroy our economy"
Right now, Kentucky has just announced a six billion dollar electric battery plant in Hardin County, and a two billion dollar plant in Bowling Green, I have clients who have signed leases for their land paying hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to build solar farms, Tesla is one of the world's most valuable companies. Not seeing a reign of destruction here.
Further, we built the railroads in the 1800s transforming this country, then built airports in the 20th century that transformed the country, then invested untold billions in building the interstates that created another incredible transformation.
But slowly and methodically phasing out fossil fuels and transitioning to renewable energy (and I would include nuclear in this equation) is going to completely destroy economic life in America? Not buying it. That is just fear mongering from the far right.
Transition can't be overnight, that is equally crazy talk from the far left extremists, fossil fuels have to be a part of the equation for the rest of my lifetime at least, maybe for another century, who knows.
