Please fund me and I shall do everything I said. Hard to put up solar without a home. Hard to do wind without land. Hard to buy a car without money. Everything comes down to funding. And as an average young millennial I don't exactly have alot of that.
This is the controlling aspect of all Liberla/Socilist/Progressive idealists.
"If I could afford to live like I preach, I would. It's SOMEBODY ELSE preventing me from doing so -- the gov't for not mandating it for all, or individuals for not giving me free money."
Do you see billionaires and millionaires (most of Congress) living "green"? Do they need to demand that others fund them, too? Or is it something else? They have the money to give up SUVs and buy electric cars. They can afford to live closer to work. They can make their homes 100% renewable energy.
They all choose not to. Why? Because it's not about the cost of going green for them. They can afford LUXURY and CONVENIENCE. So they opt for those things because they think they deserve it. If the country were forced to go 100% green in 5 years, they would still demand luxury and convenience. They won't share in the misery, because they are in charge.
Meanwhile, people like you believe in the lies and rhetoric and blame anyone else you can think of as to why you can't follow your ideals.
Marx was right. It's a game to keep the haves and have-nots at each others' throats. The "haves" will always be the reason you "have-not" are living as you do. It'll never be because of the choices you made or the risks you avoided.
