Todd Herman made a good point today. Why isn't the rest of the world giving up fossil fuels? Only the US, not China, not Europe, no where else? Why is that?

virtue signaling...

That's why I said more fuel efficient military not electric.  I realize we are not there yet.   But any more "mpg" will only benefit the military. 

Green tech is alternative energy used or gathered rather than fossil fuels.

The US has lowered carbon and other polluting emissions from fossil fuels by 70% since 1977.  Not through "green tech", but through conversion to natural gas (fossil fuel) from oil fire plants, catalytic converters, cleaner burning coal plants, vehicle emission standards, etc.

You need to understand where we've been and where we are before lecturing on where we should be going and how to get there.

You're clueless.

Even got people who say "im ok with paying more at the pump" and not realize that cost will trickle down more than they realize.

 

Didn't YOU say that?

Speak for yourself.

My image is fine -- since I'm the only one whose opinion matters.

Why doesn't Greta visit any of the top polluters in the world?  Well she is a child, so I do not really fault her of not knowing better.  I blame her parents and those using her to push their BS agenda and not visiting said polluters.

Didn't YOU say that?

Yup. I value the environment over my pocketbook.  Within reason.

So, who sets that standard for the rest of us?  You did that for YOURSELF.  Why can't the rest of us do likewise?

I don’t think certain people can read those big words!

You know HE sets the standard for the rest of us. HE tells us we are fake news when he doesn’t agree with us.

If scales with earnings obviously of you earn more for can pay more.   Standard is also personal how much you want to sacrifice.

but yet the lazy douche asks us about Frankford Arsenal.

What the fuck does that first sentence fragment/phrase mean?

"If scales with earnings
obviously
of you earn more
for
can pay more."

I THINK what you half-way tried to say is:

"From each according to his ability,
to each according to his needs."

Karl Marx taught you well, Comrade!

His unintelligible reply had something to do with "If you earn more, you can afford to pay more."

Didn't answer my question.  I asked WHO DECIDES what each person pays, not some gobbledy-goop about a scale.

Yeah my English wasn't that great in that reply.  Then again if you read a bit longer you would find your answer in the following sentence....

YOU decide.  How much you are willing to sacrifice for the future of earth and the environment for your current/future offspring.

Please explain how I get to decide when the money is being stolen from me without my consent via gas taxes, income taxes, capital gains taxes, etc.

BTW, your accusatory appeal to my emotions is duly noted.  Try using facts.  What will my stolen money that goes to green BS subsidies, Paris Accord Socialism, and so on accomplish?
