IM NOT SURE CUTTER BUT IM ALSO NOT THE ONE BITCHING ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT. IF YOU'RE GONNA MAKE THE ARGUMENT, THEN ID THINK YOU AND YOUR ILK WILL THINK OF 'SOMETHING' TO MINIMIZE THE INEVITABLE IMPACT YOU THINK ITS MAKING TO THE ENVIRONMENT. PRE-PLAN, I SUPPOSE AHEAD OF TIME AND GET A BASKET FOR THE OLE CYCLE.
WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU WANT THIS COUNTRY TO DO, CAN WE GET A OUTLINE OF WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE???
I am making changes personally, so don't worry too much about me, but forcing a civilization to drive gas only vehicles is absurd, that would be like McDonald's using it's power to make sure no vegetarian meat substitute is available to the public.
I would like to see fully electric cars as a option, if America still decides they want to buy gas cars then I would feel better that we as a nation destroyed our environment, instead of a few billionaires suppressing the option.
But the fact that we cannot have zero emissions vehicles in spite of global warming sirens going off is ludicrous.
I know you think that me driving my bike to get groceries is your win all solution to everything, but regulations need to be instilled to force the big companies to make cleaner more efficient products.
Light bulbs, fridges, furnaces, cars, monitors, everything.
Standard new construction homes that come with solar paneling, or easy to install solar paneling for homes and businesses...
The EPA needs to get out of big oil pocket, and changes need to be made, the rainforest needs to be protected, and until there is a suitable meat substitute, we need to figure out how to collect the methane from cows, or reduce methane emissions with different feed, or adding soy to big chain burgers... Something, anything will help.
But unless standards are enforced, nothing will ever get done.
