Jist to be clear, your 80% figure for “energy” includes a lot more than electricity production, which is like 39%. You’re counting natural gas use for heat, industry, and fossil fuels for transportation, in addition to electricity. Yeah obviously let’s go all in on renewables but you’re not representing the issue correctly here. And 3.5% is a big deal, so we’ll just have to disagree on that.

How is 3.5% not literally a dent? I would be absolutely stoked if we could randomly solve 3.5% while we work on the other 96.5%. We need solutions for everything.

For fucks sake there is no such thing as green, clean, and sustainable oil and gas recovery technologies.

You’re assuming a fair and rational market. These clowns are actively rigging the market. My city has very high commercial rents despite less than 50% occupancy with two feudal dickheads running the show. Businesses are having to close left and right. Apparently the banks will get mad if values drop and the the whole market will collapse, and that’s apparently “bad”, despite this being exactly what should happen in a fair market, and exactly what we need. It’s insane how much we’ve allowed these assholes to derisk.

A TV connected to a computer is a dumb display and nothing more. Methinks you’re both in agreement.
