    So all those companies are just lower generation. So it’s not like they can just stop, people need the electricity.

    I don’t know about you guys but Id rather have a habitable planet with breathable air than electricity.

    It sickens me how convenience is valued over everything else.

      People in hospitals will die without that electricity. You can be all sickened and uppity on your electronic device if you want, but the only realistic solution is replacing infrastructure.

        People are already dying from the effects of climate change so I dont understand the point you are trying to make

          You are asking people to let Gam Gam die so some random person they’ll never meet will live. “Just stop” is never. going. to. happen. Even the pockets of humanity left after the bulk of climate change will continue high energy use per capita.

          The only realistic solution is greener energy.

            Gam Gam’s life shouldn’t be worth more than “some random person”

              If I ever need to pick who lives between a family member and you, dear internet stranger, I wouldn’t even bother going to your funeral.
