Why do you hate the idea of independence from fossil fuels that are destroying the air we breathe? Does it give you a boner to think about people coughing and choking while the sun fries them?

@LordShadowfire I don't like the idea of having to walk everywhere I need to go.... cause I can't afford to drive.....

@LordShadowfire I don't have a problem with green energy, being forced to give up fossil fuel before there is a suitable replacement that is affordable as well is something entirely different. I can drive a 2022 Corolla that gets 40 mpg for $20,000 or a Nissan Leaf for $30K. Then a few more thousand dollars for a home charger and installation, then my gas furnace will have to be replaced at around $10K Throw in a hot water heater for $1000. Then I have to wait till there is an EV capable of doing what I need to do with my pickup. I guess I could just draw unemployment and food stamps until that happens. Most people don't have $20-$30K laying around to replace a vehicle and fit the house for it, let alone adding the heat and AC costs associated with green energy.

@Roadsterrider our local utility is now trying to punish those of us with solar panels on our roofs.. the good thing is they opted out of sponsoring me this year so i can be more vocal

@MarineBob That's fucked up. Why punish people for using solar?
