You know what’s actually not viable?
Burning fossil fuels still the earth is a cinder. But god forbid we don’t make shareholders happy.
It's not really a debate about continuing to rely on fossil fuels. For context, in Australia the conservative coalition (for some reason) has an idealogical bee in its bonnet about investing more heavily in renewable energy sources, instead arguing that nuclear energy production is the way of the future.
It's all projects to corrupt. it's something their friends and ideological peers can own and control, unlike solar and wind. Big contracts! Import restrictions! Waste burial to place somewhere, threatening the suburbs into tolerating more abuse of aboriginal history.
Not that arguing against solar energy in fucking Australia will convince anyone with two brain cells and a drip of dignity. Giant empty sandpaper cutout that you are, crinkled at the edges with civilization.
