Weird your media isn’t reporting it. (Not weird at all)

It’s being reported over here and it’s a massive fuckin catastrophe for the environment and everyone and every living thing anywhere near it.

a kid i went to school with lives there. i dont think he is back in his home yet. he is a bit of a middle of the road politically but leans a smidge conservative and he has already posted the gas stove is harmful but the controled explosion is fine meme.

Up until the 12:30 mark, this is the single most accurate video on the realities of the global energy situation I have seen. Then it goes full on advert, but the plain english explanation of why green energy will fail is superb.

isn't 2050 just a target? more about keeping the pedal down on the green initiative - to best nurture the possibilities of new and needed breakthroughs in the industry - than a hard deadline?

and when do we start shooting all the runoff waste into space?

I think the point was that given the resource competition and constraints it's not realistic, 2050 or 3050. There is always the possibility that some miracle advance will occur, but it's a big gamble give the predictions about how the climate will change over the next 100 years and that we haven't had a major scientific breakthrough in decades. More likely we will see dozens of green-tech Theranos style grifts than anything real.
