Take away the government subsidies, and let us see the real costs.

Fusion is a star trek dream they have been pursuing since the dawn of the nuclear age and are still no closer to. The fact that they waste a billion dollars a year in research means nothing. It's a gravy train, like the cure for cancereventually, fusion will fill that hole. Since there is no real pollution from fusion
When calculating for your solar power needs you quickly learn that it is a lot easier to reduce your need for energy than it is to produce more energy. Or at least it’s a lot cheaper. I am pretty conscious of the energy consumption compared to most but everyone could make more cuts if they look at it. Clean Energy production will improve over time but like any technology it takes time to be developed. Oil will still be used for a while yet but I am glad enough have the forsite to begin looking for answers and alternatives.https://mishtalk.com/economics/aoc-...ysten-sinema-with-a-no-climate-no-deal-threat
For the sake of argument, lets say we all decide to go down the New Green Deal path.
One thing I never hear people like AOC talk about is reduction of the "individual" carbon footprint.
Say in order to meet net-zero carbon emissions, we would have to reduce our driving to 20 miles a week.
Our screen time to 1 hour a day (the IT industry consumes as much energy as the airline industry does world wide in a year, and it is getting bigger).
The average home size has to be reduced to 1,300sqft.
The thermostat turned up to 78 degrees in the summer, and 62 degrees in the winter.
Would people like AOC be willing to do it?
The average American?
Or you can just plant some trees. That's how I am carbon NEGATIVE. More carbon is sequestered by the trees, than I produce.https://mishtalk.com/economics/aoc-...ysten-sinema-with-a-no-climate-no-deal-threatSay in order to meet net-zero carbon emissions, we would have to reduce our driving to 20 miles a week.

if I didnt know better I would be convinced that statement came from some Sheeple.I dont give a crap about any of this carbon footprint BS. Global climate change is real, we all know that. Its been going on since the beginning of time. We also know that Man caused climate change is a scam designed to fool the ignorant and foolish. Oil and gas will be around for a long time. When theres a real need for a replacement someone will come up with a new idea.
I’ve always challenged the anti oil people to name any product that does not use oil in its manufacture, production or transportation. So far nobody has mentioned a single product.
Without oil and gas we'd soon be living in caves and grass huts.
We're already blessed with an abundant energy source. Why fight it? Just try living without oil and gas.
Oil has been use for thousands of years by many people. In many places oil seeped to the surface, and still does today. Eskimos used oil for their lighting when they could find it.if I didnt know better I would be convinced that statement came from some Sheeple.
we lived for centuries without oil and gas they havent been around for that long, I can remember a time before we had all this plastic junk and the world was a much tidier and cleaner place, so not everything modern is that wonderful.
but what all this oil and gas and plastics has done is to make the world a much more crowded place and that is a big problem, no doubt climate change will sort that out for us, mother nature will come back and bite us in the arse for being so contemptuous thats for sure.
I have lived without oil and gas, its no big deal, and I wasnt living in a cave or a grass hut, incidentally Ancient Britons lived in round houses made from natural materials found locally to where they were living and they were strong and substancial.
I don't worry what other people do. I do my part, it isn't always easy, and I take advantage of others unwillingness to lessen in order to lessen my footprint. I'm not perfect. I do believe that we are damaging our planet, maybe not as horrible as others make it out, maybe worse than can be seen. I do ask others to give it a shot. Big change is hard and someone will always suffer. Just ask anyone having the early Europeans paying them a visit.

I probably have a much smaller carbon footprint than most have, not out of some hippy or socialist pipe dream, but because of the way we choose to live and necessity. Solar provides 100% percent of our electrical needs, we have a lot of timber, which is supposed to soak up carbon or something silly.
We're already blessed with an abundant energy source. Why fight it? Just try living without oil and gas.
I know exactly how long it takes to get a well in, how much it costs to produce a barrel of oil, and how much probable and proven oil reserves we have left. And its measured in the hundreds of years, and longer. Fracking was a great technological advance, directional drilling was another great advancement in producing oil and gas. More advances are constantly being worked on.The problem is, the low hanging fruit i.e. the easy to get out of the ground oil is becoming less and less. Fracking and shale proves that. When all the easy to get out of the ground stuff is gone, conventional oil, then we have to resort to unconventional oil.
You know perfectly well how long it takes to bring a oil rig online from discovery. And a deep sea platform. And a shale rig, and all the inputs that go into it, the exponential decrease of a shale well y-o-y.
