Off shore wind is cheaper, quicker and safer.

To be honest I should eat more healthily 😉

Seriously, I can remember my grandfather telling how he had spent a lot of his life working to make money and when he had time to reflect he could see that he'd missed out somehow.

I think it's not unfair to say we have a crisis of overproduction.

It's like someone had a great idea but we have just overdone it x10

@gusgalarnyk

Yes. Efficiency is a better way to look at it.

There's that thing about how hunter-gatherers produce all the food and clothing they need in 2 days a week. And after 100,000 years of progress humans are now working a 5 day week. ☹️

@gusgalarnyk @Tb0n3

Could we reduce productivity as well? Surely we have enough products?

All this 'productivity' is just producing more CO2 .

@Badewaschel @SolNine

Hmm. Well, people are bombarded ever day with intense advertising that links their with with commodities. The pressure is intense. Anyone who has had to buy trainers for their kids will tell you.

Personally, I think I need a new bike.

Hydrogen doesn't work and nuclear is too expensive CCS also doesn't work.

Renewables work and are cheap and easy to install. Combine them with battery in a SunWindBattery system and maybe a bit of hydro and we have enough energy.

There are so many solutions.

But instead we are using gas and burning oil. Politicians and fossil fuel companies obstruct renewables and other climate mitigation

Because profit is more important than human survival.

I wonder what you would.call anti-Russian racism. Ruskyphobia? Russo-phobia?

@BakedGoods @xuxebiko

We should be careful about bothsidism. The Muslims who suffer racist violence in India are rarely violent cultists. They are everyday people trying to live their lives and look after their families. Just like us.

@NoneOfUrBusiness @alphacyberranger @Custoslibera @raspberriesareyummy @lemmington_steele

Yes, very much so. On so may levels. Treatment of women, invasion of Yemen, brutal judicial system, destruction of climate, sponsorship of terrorism...

Assuming Biden wants to do anything about the CCP or Modi.

These regimes are useful to US, extending neoliberalism in India and cheap manufacturing for US companies in China. A little bit of ethnonationalism has never been a concern to US foreign policy.

Compared to other regimes supported by the US, such as Saudi Arabia, both Modi and the CCP are quite liberal regimes.

Modi is very dangerous.

@SCB

OK

I think you are arguing with a point I didn't make.
