How about the question I asked: If we continue to depend on fossil fuels, what’s the plan for mitigating the environmental disasters it causes? Sure, everyone can see that in the short term there’s an economic boost from this stuff, but the effects are already starting to bite and will only accelerate, and in the longer term it’s a massive loss. What’s the plan for dealing with that? Or is the plan just not to have a plan?

Well you have to sit down and think where you stand yourself, do you want a broke country, or do you want a productive country that is sitting on a cash cow? climate change is going to happen, but i’d like to not be living on a park bench when that happens.

Sadly, this is the truth. There is no signs of significant change where it matters.
