I don’t think it matters that the Chevron defense exists or doesn’t. Agencies in charge of the environment have flat out sucked. Scrap it and approach from another angle because regulators are not advantageous to renewable tech that has net positive impacts over existing tech.

Sam Harris said that climate change will have to be solved surreptitiously by entrepreneurs who make the sustainable alternatives more economical than the incumbent energy sources…i tend to agree.

Exactly correct, the alternative has been tried and it gone nowhere slowly

Tesla is a great example of it working (although the mineral mining involved is an environmental disaster) also, wind in Texas we desperately need more nuclear we can store energy in existing building infra (few know this) but we still need better grid-scale storage for solar i hope we don’t go extinct…

Mineral mining is a good example. The most impossible place to be with renewables is under the belief that there is a solution available commercially with no negative externalities. I don’t think we’re going extinct but we do need to get our heads out of the sand

we just arbitrage the environmentally harmful parts of the supply chain to other countries that have poor environmental practices. the externalities of a massive lithium ion battery pack are HUGE and social justice warriors pretend they are zero 🤦🏻♂️

They are huge, they’re just less than petro and coal, that’s what matters, the relative difference and not that it occurs at all When I worked in renewables the most prevalent obstruction to progress was always the environmental regulators and the environmentalists. Their desire for perfect keeps us locked into the worst outcome, more of the same
