i didn’t come close to saying change isn’t coming. i said it’s decades away.

I completely bitchslapped you, so you responded to something i never came close to saying.

the old isn’t replaced with the new, until the new is practical and ready to replace the old. Wind/solar aren’t even close to being ready. It’s not close.

I don’t say that because i like saying it. I say it, because it’s obviously true.

there’s a reason why the price of Exxon Mobil and Chevron are soaring right now. Because people
who are objective about such things, know the demand for fossil
fuels isn’t going away soon.

Every incentive inagineable exists to replace fossil fuels with renewables. Whoever gets there first will be worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

We can’t do it yet, not for awhile.
