When your house is on fire do you save money by not putting it out, only to deal with the far greater expense of homelessness and starvation? And starting the whole neighborhood on fire too?
So fucking tired of hearing that getting off coal oil gas is too expensive.
We’re homeless if we don’t.

Coal oil and gas is on the way out simply due to economics.
The problem is entrenched infrastructure and power will delay the too long normal transition, when we need to speed it.
Plus we’re losing tech/ economic leadership. So f*cking stupid for the planet, the country, the economy.
