All cut from the same cloth: generate the illusion of "doing something" about a "crisis" that the elites have mostly manufactured out of scientism. None of these are designed to actually make our lives better, they are designed to make people "feel" better. The cardinal sin is to ask for a true cost-benefit analysis. Green energy fails every time.

Never heard the word scientism...but I think you may have it, a fear of science and the need to pretend that there is not climate change due to humans and their behavior. Seems all the electric vehicle hate boils down to a need to prove they are more polluting that thei gasoline powered breathren and not necessary becausee there is no climate change and no problem with burning the most fossil fuel possible. Green energy does not fail every time...even Texas gets more than 30% of all its electricity from solar and wind...why do solar power and wind frighten so many Republicans?
I am a Republican (at least I used to be, but that’s another topic) and I don’t fear solar or wind. Let’s develop all the energy technologies we can and see what works and how we can improve those technologies. I believe in science, real science, the scientific method, which is a continual search for truth. What I don’t like are government mandates that purport to rely on “settled science” and seek to suppress dissent. The crisis that was the Covid pandemic was a great example of this. The powers that be established narratives that were not to be questioned, many of which have been prov...

Rising sea levels are also relative. There are several great, ancient cities now well under water. If land masses are changing, if water bodies are changing, we can adapt. The earth will do as it must in the solar system it resides within. We already have had to adjust magnetic north coordinates due to earth axis movement which, by the way, must have impact on different regions local climates.
Can we not trust and work with the earth? It really is our only option. It would be nice to do so without polluting it with turbines and toxic mining. Instead, let’s clean up the plastics and other trash. We can adapt.

We're not "afraid" of green energy – what we despise is an overreaching government encroaching on our most sacred rights and policing our every business decision and financial choice. And that, history demonstrates in no uncertain terms, is a thing indeed to fear.

"designed to make people "feel" better."
The sanctimonious (and nearly always affluent) people who plant lawn signs proclaiming how virtuous they are, are probably the most influenced by such emotions
Overall, I think its designed as a green grift ... consumers & taxpayers will pay tens or hundreds of Trillion$ to transition the world. There is an army of consultants, gov't officials, administrators, crony capitalist, etc, standing buy to take a maximum cut of those Trillion$.
