To get where we want to be, we needed to invest a lot more research in that, decades earlier....
Well said. Sadly though, rather than invest and encourage the very best to apply and study at colleges no matter their sex, gender, or ethnicity liberals seem to be doing the exact opposite.
To conquer the problems associated with climate change, you're going to need to produce (I e. educate) many more engineers and scientists to create better and more efficient technologies.
What if that meant a bunch of just Asian and white men scientists in the engineering rooms at large companies??
We can't have that, now can we? That's not "diverse" enough.
Another crazy idea. Instead of a two worker household that both parents have to commute to go to work, why don't we remove 1/2 of them from the roads immediately and have them stay at home and make house instead??
But instead of doing that, liberal's energy policy is forcing the cost of goods to rapidly increase forcing more people to commute to work.
Electric cars are wonderful but expensive. A tanking economy is the last thing you want if you need people to transition to electric cars. Because people will not be able to do so if groceries increase in cost 2x. And of course there's the fantasy around generating and delivering all that non-nuclear electric energy on a grid that won't work which will come from burning nat-gas.
Also, I have not heard a peep from those controlling Congress to standardize all batteries somehow (including car batteries) and make things repairable. That'd certainly make big tech uncomfortable and that's another thing that apparently nobody wants to do.
I could have a list like this as long as my arm. But at the end of the day it really feels like that many liberals talk out of both side of their mouths. It seems they only want *their* one solution (e.g. stop drilling oil and have Santa deliver renewables) but not entertain any others.
If Democrats are truly serious that climate is the number one priority, then they'd entertain some wildly unpopular non-Democrat ideas. Instead they are working hard to make the ground fertile to plant the seeds for climate change denial and inaction.
