Should keep doing what we've been doing?

WTF is people against asking questions?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Obviously not. But switching to something new and worse also clearly isn't the solution.

Not something new? That seems a bit odd?

Try to answer the question people... What is the fucking solution?! You can't just say "no" to everything, then "I have no suggestions", but "don't use new things" and "we shouldn't use what we do".

I'm not advocating for gas, oil or coal. Is the answer nuclear energy, solar, wind? Instead of just downvoting, try to use your words.

Just because something is new doesn’t mean it’s better or should be used. Just look at crypto.

So what do we do? Keep killing the planet with what we've got, because new is bad?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No, bad is bad. There are other solutions, such as electric power, biofuels, etc. everything has downsides, but those are generally less bad with CO2 than the rest.

You answered my question now, that I asked a few comments ago, thank you.

I don't know if it was you, but why downvote the question? People trying to kill questions to a very important subject seems moronic to me.

I'm not down voting you, they're decent questions to ask. It's just that the people asking them are usually the "well, you can't solve 100% of the problem, so I should do whatever I want" crowd.
