Comment Re:The problem with the Paris Treaty (Score 1) 304

Yes, we should do our best to keep the planet clean and the habitable - but is stuffing $1.28T into this the best way to go about it? Couldn't the money be better spent on battery technology, nation-wide electrical fill stations, hyperloops, and other technology we have not even thought of yet (rather than paying someone like Kenya for carbon credits to excuse us using old polluting technology we can't afford to replace)?

Sounds great! But has the current U.S. administration that is jettisoning this agreement done or said anything that gives the impression that any savings would go to technologies like you described? Or does it sound like it just wants to feed more money into the status quo and let our environment and long-term wellbeing be damned...
