got a source on the moratorium including wind farms? That’d be a particular lol because 2 weeks ago they announced a bunch of gulf coast wind leases.

Some bigwig in the webinar responsible for Offshore sales. I dunno, that's what they said, pretty much verbatim, in response to a question about the lack of gulf wind projects in the pipeline. :shrug:.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

In the end, climate measures made up the largest policy line in Biden's framework. White House officials say it will cut a billion metric tons of US greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The White House is also confident the legislation will put the US track to meet Biden's Paris Agreement goal: a 50-52% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels by the end of the decade.
The US is estimated to emit 6.5 billion tons annually, so assuming this works exactly as advertised it's a 15% reduction in emissions from today's levels. To be on track to stop 2C+ by optimistic UN estimations it'd need to be a 50% reduction in emissions. We're, by the word of government propagandists, a third of the way to probably-not-enough. :toot:

Careful, or the (loving piece of poo poo coward mods) brave mods from D&D will come and prob you for saying such a ridiculous statement.

Had a good conversation about plastic with my boomer mother (one of the rare good ones.) where we were talking about making a trip to Costco together (same area, and they're the ones with the membership) and talked about getting a vacuum sealer for meat. She looked at me and said, "but what about all that plastic? Don't we have enough?" and I laughed and nodded.

nobody's paying to tour this



it's megadeath over megadeath over megadeath, scorched salted earth tracts bigger than most european countries, undiscovered species extinct before ever being recorded, all for either soy or cattle, the profits of which go to the dumbest loving people alive

sometimes i fantasize about dropping my stupid 9 to 5 life to fight rich rural landowners, but they are meaner than me and have political clout and big guns and get away with murder on the reg

Job was okay, costumers treated me worse than anywhere else I’ve worked.

It's better that the guy frames is like other people are at fault,
because it makes people go, "no gently caress you. This is your fault. I loving hate sitting traffic."

Yeah but it's also kind of a useful misdirection that gives politicians an easy scapegoat and lets them avoid actually doing anything

Nobody needed to get mad at fossil fuel dudes. Everybody needed to get mad at politicians so they could set policies to make the fossil fuel companies irrelevant, but lol

About 60% of the number they're throwing around is tax credits for buying new electric cars, building new powerplants, and building new houses if they meet higher energy efficiency standards. All of that poo poo would have been nice if they'd started doing it twenty or thirty years ago, but in the short term of ten years it's subsidizing higher carbon intensity.

Though the framework has been announced and draft legislative text is circulating through Congress, lawmakers have yet to vote. Manchin hasn't explicitly endorsed the framework, and it's unclear when exactly the bill might be passed along with Biden's bipartisan infrastructure bill.

This limp-dicked half measure will be heaved into the trash before it ever suffers the ignominy of a floor vote.
