>deal isn't actually about saving the planet but pushing political bullshit
wow color me surprised

"saving the planet" is always code for pushing political bullshit.

well better listen to scientifically illiterate denialtards instead and do nothing

aoc needs to be cancelled.

Doing nothing is better than doing stupid shit that does nothing

>free money to those willing or unwilling to work (yes unwilling)
>rebuild every building in america forcing sovereign citizens to destory and rebuild what they have Mao-style
>Remove every method of transportation needed to bring in commerce and goods and trade.

No

the last one sounds great, I don't know why consumer swine deserve to have more products and food to choke down. We could use a thinning of the herd and it will effect the "unwilling to work" camp you hate so much. The rebuilding every building recommendation is insane, but that would never get passed. I don't know where you're getting free money from.

Nuclear power IS DIRTY OKAY?
Like, there is no safe way to disposed of it. Like none
Chernoblyl, Three Mile, Fukishima. Proof that it is dangerous

literally no reason to use it when we have solar and wind. those are the future.

you might have had a good argument back in the 1950s. you dont now. The Union of Concerned Scientists agrees.

Doing nothing is exactly how we get outpaced by competing countries. The US steel, auto, and energy industry lost their technological and reputational lead to Japan and Europe because they wouldn't adapt to new methods, since in the short term it seemed like the investments wouldn't pay off.

It's also fucking retarded that our nation has been brought to its knees on more than one occasion due to foreign oil dependence. We're only delaying it for a few more decades by using the rest of our oil deposits when we should be saving them for military applications and manufacturing (plastics). Nobody fucking learns and when the oil starts flowing again we go back to sucking the pipes like an opium addict. We'd be able to get our dicks out of the Middle East by now if we didn't have to protect oil production.

Yucca Mountain was pretty viable but now it's a not-quite-deep-enough hole in the ground we spend millions on for maintenance.

Oh right and it costs nuclear power plants more to house the waste right at their sites but nobody's going to invest in a place to store them so they just have to leave them in concrete casks near human populations.

Also, none of those disasters would have happened if they'd upgraded their designs (i.e not been short on funding or obstructed by environmentalists).
