ftbdAwww, did someone get addicted to unsustainable energy sources that are artificially cheap due to externalized costs?
No the oil lobby is forcing it upon us. We try to get renewables but they are being destroyed by idiots.

LucidlethargyThey’re artificially expensive. The US is a net EXPORTER of oil.
Is all just a bunch of fucking bullshit, everyone.
No, it’s not. We all know that we cannot afford to put any more CO2 into the atmosphere. So reasonably, any new CO2 that is emitted would have to be (permanently) removed via carbon capture. That would be the true cost of emitting CO2, but instead, these effects are externalized to global society as a whole, making gas at the pump artificially cheap by cheating everyone else.
