    Yeah totally agree, it’s more of a shitty excuse politicians use. The reality is that it will impact the profits of the oil, gas and coal industries, but the economy as a whole will be much better in the long run once we are less dependent on fossil fuels. It’s such a short sighted outlook.

      It’s like that old political cartoon, “But what if we make a better world for nothing??”

      Well, we also need a lot less cars on the roads and much higher prices for flight tickets, no private jets and cruise ships. It’ll hurt a lot of weird industries, but the alternative is so much worse. Adapt or die
