    let the markets decide! i totally agree with you. now let us end the fossil fuel subsidies and tax advantages so that the "invisible hand" has a level playing field.

    The current global green initiatives are succeeding, but not fast enough. In part because of legacy energy companies and Luddite Repubs who are in their pocket.

    government intervention being your real goal, with "climate change" as an excuse for more collectivization

    no, saving the planet from the irresponsible past policies is the real goal. "climate change" may be a little hyperbolic, but the solutions : conservation, recycling, reuse are perfectly valid american values whether the planet is warming or if you "believe" it is not.

    I don't believe that. the left is well known in hyping faux emergencies designed to justify more government control over private property and personal rights. almost every movement that requires government control to advance the cause becomes a vehicle that control freaks infect because those movements help advance their real goal

    do you think that our current reliance on fossil fuel is some kind of accident? that we got here without lots of centralized (on wall st, they control the government whichever party is taking their orders) control?

    The economic system is what it is [it's the only one we've got], so to get the best results, you get rid of as much corruption as is possible and regulate only that which you absolutely must. What else is there?

    A resource based economy but then USA wouldn't be a super power. Are you willing to sacrifice your position of a super power in order to live a life less destructive?

    and you propose minimal regulation to control corruption?

    i agree. to reach this minimum, we would need many more regilatioms and dedicated regulators ("untouchables" would be nice, but regulators must also be regulated) .

    You need to study up on Energy. The entire "green" energy meme is ridiculous. Technology will take care of the energy situation in time. You cannot decide that we got to grow our economies in the West and that the rest of the world gets to suffer with incredibly high energy costs that will stymie their growth.

    Remember, all matter is energy, so this is not going to be a problem soon enough. Put people before radical policy.

    NOBODY in the U.S. is willing to give up this status. Has any empire willingly given it up?

    It is said that tough times produce good men [and women] and good times produce weak men [and women]. The corruption out there now has infected EVERYTHING. It will run its course...

    Great parody. It exposes the hidden nature of these "comics" that are meant to really just subdue the population, using an avatar that is hiding behind an image of a do-gooder but in reality is here to subvert the common man's intuition. I've never been a fan of DC, they are grooming the children it seems.

    Green energy companies get $20 billion+ a year. That's why it's growing. Of course people are going to go after free money. It certainly isn't growing because of it's own market strength.

    When it comes to hypersonic smart bombs launched from USD13B aircraft carriers, I am not sure that applies [but I agree on a personal level].

    what I know is that the anti fossil fuel movement has been infected by hard core leftwing authoritarian control freaks
