No I read the bill now. It also says net zero, so carbon capture is allowed to offset emissions.
Ahhh, gotcha. So many different iterations of the goals gets confusing. "100% clean and renewable" doesn't actually mean "100% clean and renewable" because we can "carbon capture."
You gotta shoot for the moon if you want to land among the stars.
Sure, sure. So where are we going to get jet fuel? Are refiners going to just throw away roughly 72% of their product? Hopefully we won't be selling it thus encouraging other non 100% clean and renewable energy countries to continue polluting.
She's probably just beefing up the "how we are actually going to do this stuff" part with all of the costs and technical details.
I think she's already said she would just print money. No more details needed. Of course, she's going to need a crap load of workers to rebuild all the buildings and infrastructure. There are currently about 6 million "help wanted" signs out now which nobody can or wants to fill. She'll have to import a couple hundred million more laborers to fill those jobs. There won't be sufficient water/sewage treatment facilities for those people so we all can make like San Francisco and watch shit float through our streets.
They can use biofuels for jet fuel.
We're definitely going to need to bring in a bunch of people, more than you indicated. Once the government starts providing a living wage, housing, and healthcare to the unwilling to work people as outlined in the Green New Deal, the labor participation rate is going to plummet. I'd wager a decent amount of the immigrants we bring in are going to want in on that action as well.
Oh, no, damn, yeah, my bad. Carbon capture.
Like are the other countries reducing their emissions to the point where the use can keep the status quo and achieve an aggregate reduction of 50%?
If they aren't, they need to start. I'm not going to give up any of our creature comforts as the world's wealthiest nation and biggest carbon polluter. Countries that are a lot poorer and less developed than the US are the easiest places to start.
Yes it can. Don't be naive. This green push is about socialism more than it is about a cleaner earth.
So what level of atmospheric CO2 will produce a static climate? How many people should be given a living wage, free heathcare, retirement, and housing for being unwilling to work? How many people should our federal government employ? How much of your income and assets are you willing to give to the federal government to provide a decent life for people who are unwilling to work? Are you willing to give up your freedom in healthcare choices to the federal government?
Hmmmm, is the guy that was poo pooing my ideas of the government banning large houses and fancy cars now in favor of the government forcing those types of choices on people? Or does your response mean we'll see if the poor countries can get the planet to the 50% reduction? If they can't do it alone, there's always India, Russia, and China.
Just making sure. Then you're on board with the Green New Deal being a load of crap because the carbon emissions from the US don't matter. I think we started the conversation somewhere near there anyhow before we got sidetracked on silly shit like bio jet fuel and battery operated ships.
Not exactly. You and the Simpson character guy seemed quite appalled by the suggestion.
