Dummmmb, de dumb dummmb... You have to be white to be a white supremacist, which is what the accusation against the Proud Boys is. Get your head out of your arse. Who the f do you think they're racist against? Themselves? Their parents? Their kids? FYI and ad hominem attack would be against you, the deliverer of info, not your sources. You're acting like you're quoting news sources, but they're actually discredited propagandists all. IDGAF about the 95 minute capitol riot. In a country with 300M people for sure you can find some people who will question the results of an election for 2 months, especially when it happens under such questionable circumstances. You did that for four years WITH NO EVIDENCE AT ALL. LMAO. It's completely impossible for you or anyone aside from Obama and Farrakhan to know how many times they met. Farrakhan was a vocal Obama supporter and they're very chummy in that photo. No decent person meeting with Farrakhan would look chummy, and why should Farrakhan be meeting with so many influential people in the first place? That's disgusting. That whole paragraph is just alarming lies and bullshit. There's something really wrong with you dude. there is no evidence Joe Biden was arrested for trespassing in the Capitol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a lie. He also said that he got arrested trying to visit Nelson Mandela (false) and that he comes from a long line of coal miners (wrong, there were zero) and he's the first person in his family to ever graduate from college (lie). "I DID NOT KNOW THAT HUNTER WAS WORKING AT BURISMA. PERIOD. I DID NOT KNOW!!!!" Lie. He knew, and he had to amit that he knew when the photo of him and Hunter with Devon Archer was leaked.

That is a good point that a Pipeline job is temporary but working for mass transportation is a bit more sustainable. I guess until Self-Driving cars take over. The future is with batteries anyway, not bitumen. I don't imagine you can build a pipeline to transport battery components.

Pipelines kill less people, but in the case of places like Lac-Megantic, it was just a bunch of white people that died, so maybe it's racist to take their lives into account? Quote The future is with batteries anyway, not bitumen. I don't imagine you can build a pipeline to transport battery components. For sure. Battery-powered 747s, freight trains, semis and backhoes/caterpillars etc are the way of the future. There are also enough power lines right now to fuel all of our vehicles and heat all of our homes and buildings. We should curtail our entire transportation system right now and just go with whatever electric vehicles we have. Homes can just burn garbage for heat until they all switch over to electricity.

No, but we shouldn't be making long term investments in technologies we're moving away from. Invest in smaller more efficient battery technology and create jobs from developing that. It's what China is doing, despite everyone claiming that North America doesn't have to do anything about Climate Change. . . because of China.

I think it's it big, phallic symbol of how white men are screwing the environment. "Laying pipe into mother nature without consent!" Quote No, but we shouldn't be making long term investments in technologies we're moving away from. It's a free market society.

Quote It's what China is doing Boges, FYI - here's what China is doing: https://www.canadianenergycentre.ca/commentary-china-is-building-184-coal-plants-guess-what-that-will-do-to-carbon-emissions/ Quote As of 2020, 350 coal-fired power plants are under construction. They include seven in South Korea, 13 in Japan, 52 in India, and 184 in China with the rest underway in other parts of the world. China is also building and financing hundreds of other coal-fired power plants in countries such as Turkey, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines, Egypt, and Bangladesh. By your plan, we will kill our economy to foist green regulations and taxes upon everyone here, while China's economy is booming based upon fossil fuel usage. Then, under weaklings like Biden and Obama who refuse to tackle tough issues with China on things like intellectual property laws, our green technology will eventually be stolen by China and they'll manufacture it for themselves, and for the rest of the world, and they'll probably even sell it at a store near you. I get that your soft little heart is in the right place Boges, but China and the rest of the world think with their heads.

Cheap shit at Walmart can easily be imported from China. Not so much large renewables products. Ford just pledged to build EV Batteries in Canada. China will certainly eat our lunch if we refuse to believe that renewables are where the future is at.

What happens when we run out of Fossil fuels? Most Car companies are already on the EV train and most responsible Countries are moving away from Coal as a primary energy source.

It would be racist to care about the people killed by shipping by freight when they were mostly white, just like it's racist to care about white people killed by police, killed by rioters, etc. Quote Fossil Fuels are also subsidized Fossil fuels account for about 25% of our exports by dollar value. The next closest thing is the auto industry, which is also subsidized. Green tech is already being subsidized by.... a tax on carbon. Anything that this country ever makes 'green' will always have to be heavily subsidized. Quote How many permanent jobs does a pipeline create? At least creating Green technology is a manufacturing job, not a temporary infrastructure job. It brings in a ton of money up front, provides long term jobs, gives our oil more access to foreign markets, and saves people's lives. Then once they're in the ground you can forget about them for years and the area that they're in is 100% green again. Those are all good things. Quote Also doing this. Of course China is competing for jobs in every sector. They know that Americans have a huge boner for green technology. You're still glossing over the fact that China is going to burn more coal in 2 or 3 years than Canada burned in our entire history. Quote Cheap shit at Walmart can easily be imported from China. Not so much large renewables products. WTF are you talking about? Almost anything large can be brought over as component parts. Remember our government just gave a Chinese company the contract for an entire LNG pipeline? How small is that? Quote Ford just pledged to build EV Batteries in Canada. China will certainly eat our lunch if we refuse to believe that renewables are where the future is at. So you gradually ease into the future. You don't inflict it on the population like China did in their "Great Leap Forward". In case you didn't know, somewhere between 15,000,000 and 55 million people actually leapt into their graves as a result. Quote As opposed to you that thinks we can continue as usual without a transition away from Fossil Fuels. What happens when we run out of Fossil fuels? Most Car companies are already on the EV train and most responsible Countries are moving away from Coal as a primary energy source. There's nothing wrong with transitioning to green technology in a democratic, free market way. There's everything wrong with a government that's forcing green tech down our throats and killing fossil fuel jobs here in NA while the rest of the world carries on like normal. Why should be buy oil exported from human rights abusers like Saudi Arabia? Why should we shut down coal here while a human rights abuser like China is building ten times as many coal-fired plants as this country ever had? FWIW I know that you don't, or intentionally won't understand any of this, it's basically just here for other people to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
