    Here is what I’ve learned: If you see an angry person with purple or green hair, they are emotionally unstable and impossible to have a civilized argument with.

    Their cause to steer away from fossil fuels is a very good cause to strive for. But only when the technology is there to bridge the gap when renewables aren’t producing energy. We’re getting there, but not today.

    And the actions and unrealistic demands of this spoiled university brat who’s living the good life isn’t helping their cause. There are several interviews of this girl, when you see them you will wonder how on earth is she in a university, she’s not smart at all, she can ramble though

      We absolutely are the technology to at the very least drastically reduce the usage of fossil fuels.

        Yes we have, but I can’t afford it. These stop oil want to redirect subsidizing from oil to renewable. This sound great in theory until you think about all you need to go renewable: a lot of solar panels for sun, wind turbines for winter, large battery, gas boiler replaced with heat pump, petrol car replaced with electric (wife), motorcycle replace with electric (me commute)

        No matter how much the government subsidizes this, this will bankrupt every middle class worker with a mortgage 3x over. And even if you want to do the conversation step by step to save up, in the meantime your unsubsidized fuel is 5x more expensive so you have nothing to save up.
