Poster is a Corvid, not a Parrot. Sarcasm for sure! They are smartiepants.

Looks like sarcasm

How many words do you require? I wrote, "There's no climate change." The Trump admin is well known for considering climate change a hoax. However, this story is what I had in mind when I wrote that sentence, I'm pretty sure it was a Lemmy.world link from the same day, although I do get text-based news elsewhere.

I also wrote, "Renewable energy plants are too expensive!" Note the exclamation point"!". I often use it instead of a smiley or a sarcasm mark. Sarcasm doesn't really apply to a truthful observation, such as "I wish it was sarcasm," and I'm often in a state of indecision in such cases. But perhaps my posting history would explain better? I'm not sure what 35 square miles of photovoltaics would cost, I seem to recall "billions" of dollars being mentioned. What is the cost of some natural gas turbines in comparison?

Do you suppose if and when Democrats take back power from Republicans, these natural-gas turbines can be legally shut down and renewable-energy plants mandated? Will they be allowed to continue operations instead? Do you suppose that the powers that be will just extract every last barrel of crude they can extract and turn it into CO2?
