Before I answer your questions, you answer mine. Which is less acceptable?

Then why is it over $35k to get them installed on a house's roof? And still I'd need to be plugged into the grid.

That's great for them, I hope it was worth it in the end. And that would work great in a desert and southern California, but it won't work to well in most of the USA due to weather.

So, which is less acceptable:

Hamas, a military threat to Israel who hides behind children.

Or

Israel, a country with a military who is responding to military threats in a way a military would.

BTW, my original post is asking questions, but you Lemmy Users just keep making it seem I'm pro Israel just for asking.

It's not that simple to electrify with renewable. We'd need to mine wayyyy more copper for wiring. We'd need to produce wayyy more rubber for insulated coatings of all those wires. We'd need wayyy more transformers. And if every garage in America has a car charging in it, then we'll need wayyy more batteries and We'd have a lot more load on our electric infrastructure. In the end, we'd still need fossil fuel infrastructure to account for when the sun's not shining and wind isn't blowing.

Thanks for clarifying for me. Didn't realize it was such a simple scenario like a bank robbery.

Things just dont make sense. Hamas, a very weak power, sneak attacks Israel, a relatively strong power, then hides amongst the civilian population with military targets scattered throughout neighborhoods and municipalities.

Is Hamas surprised by the mass civilian casualties or are you (the reader) the one who is surprised? Is Hamas actually weaponizing their civilians by showing the world how many are dying and being an agent of change in the UN?

Is Hamas considering these civilian deaths as martyrs? Because martyrdom is not the same as innocent death.

Look, a nation looking to expand its territory due to oil. Where's all the anti American Lemmy users to say how imperialistic they are?

My realizations over the years:

Even if we make our cars less carbon-polluting by 25%, if we end up driving more, we could still end up polluting more.

Even if the western nations pollute less, developing nations will still pollute a lot more and will get us to tipping points anyway, albeit perhaps slightly slower.

Global warming effects are scary, but what's worse is global cooling and Ice Age. Once the ocean's balance is messed up by diluted salinity due to melted ice caps, who knows where this can go.
