I still cannot get over how people equate extracting resources to build a thing which will let us do something for decades to come with extracting resources which we promptly set on fire so we can do something for a moment.

Like, this seems so forking obvious. You don't even need to "believe" in climate change to realize how much stupider it is to keep the status quo up.

It's only seen as "easy" because it's familiar. Interrogate it just the teeny tiniest bit and maybe you'll find the absurdity.

@TechConnectify I still firmly believe future generations (if humans last that long) will shake their heads at us burning fossil fuels for energy. even without global warming (which is more bizarre)
@joncarp @TechConnectify
Just like (most of) us look back at past generations who believed burning witches was a perfectly sensible thing to do.

@drumbrakes @TechConnectify oh yea, there's lots of things we think were misguided in retrospect.

this is obvious in real time
