How do you think the right would respond if...

[uscitizen]

Humans are not ready for the technology yet. So I will not release it.

 

[Mr. H.]

Cheap and safe cold fusion power generation was suddenly developed.
Along with new energy storage techniques that allowed very feasable electric vehicles?

How would the govt handle this? Woudl they try and keep it down to protect the existing energy ifrastructure?

would they embrace full implementation as soon as possible.

would they dither while the rest of the world passed us by?

And I said the right becuase as far as business goes the govt is very right.

THAT is a damned good question.

One does wonder if the oiliocracy would do everything it could to keep us dependent on our carbon based energy economy.

They've got a lot to lose if oil and coal lost their appeal as energy sources.

How much would they have to lose?

Well I don't Know what the value of world domination really is in monetary terms, but I'm guessing its a number with a whole lotta zeros at the end of it.

I'm part of the "oilocracy". Third generation in fact. This would ruin our business and put me out in the streets. I would welcome it and embrace it.

Consideirng clean energy is ALREADY cheaper the fossil fuels I'd say the respond like the always do and claim that cold fusion would destroy jobs and be bad

Can you back this up with anything?

Yep here is a study that finds clean energy is cheaper the fossil fuels.

the problem with that is, there is no reason to lose fossil fuels.

The ecofascists totally don't understand that there is more use for oil than just vehicle fuel.

Americans consume petroleum products at a rate of three-and-a-half gallons of oil and more than 250 cubic feet of natural gas per day each! But, as shown here petroleum is not just used for fuel.​

There will ALWAYS be a need for petroleum. Wind, solar, nuclear, and other energy sources can't make plastics or medicines or paints or fertilizers.

Ecofasists are amazingly ignorant.

Of course your dumbass strawman is totally transparent. It is not the use of oil for an industrial stock that is the problem. It is the burning of the fossil fuel and the release of GHGs into the atmosphere that is the problem.

Seems to me to be an idiotic thing to do to burn such a valuable industrial stock.

btw Diesel fuel is a fuel but it is in the list....

 

[whitehall]

Why not ponder how the right would respond to E.T. technology or changing water into wine? How about a meteor strike? The sky is the limit, why not turn any improbable event into a political issue? It beats talking about the price of gas.

I get it now. Clean Coal is not cheaper to produce. It is cheaper to clean up. So it is projected that the additional cost of producing clean coal is less than the cost of cleaning up dirty coal, correct?

It is a little misleading to say that clean en is cheaper to produce because it isn't, but if the studies are accurate then yes the costs of clean coal for society is less than the current method of coal burning. Please let me know if I got this right.

Don't forget 99% of the food dyes used in the "food" we eat and drink. Mmmmm petrolium never tasted so good!

No strawman. You idiots want to do away with oil entirely.

Civilization would collapse. Completely.

This is you, isn't it?

the problem with today's brand of partisans is, they'll believe whatever the corporatists tell them to

this is more than evident in any facts presented being lauded as liberal tree hugger bias
