It's so odd that people like this are actively ANTI-environmentalist. Not just "I don't think we impact much" but the outright mission of making it worse.
I think people are starting to wake up that many of the "environmentalists" are misguided and often not looking at the larger spectrum of unintended consequences. Instead they are virtue signaling.
There is an untold number of examples, but I gave one in this thread about early starter wear and the larger carbon footprint from do-gooders who cant see the forest through the trees.
I'm reminded of this scene from landman where Billy Bob talk about the unseen negative impact of wind generators.
Now don't get me wrong. I live a pretty light carbon footprint lifestyle. In fact I'd go so far as to call myself an environmentalist. Moreso than at least 95% of the people on this board. Im all for clean energy, cleaning the oceans, recycling. I live that lifestyle.
But people thinking that these environmentally friendly policies have no goddamn idea the impact they have. "I drive an EV!", well fuckin-A, Linda that's awesome. Here's a picture of child slave labor in the lithium mines needed to fund that yoga class talking point:
The cleanest fucking energy we can make is nuclear and we have made exactly 2 plants in the last 30 years.
So the agency actively hampering our best efforts is now being championed by misguided virtue signaling hypocrits? Excuse me.
