The cheaper energy becomes, the more of a threat it is to literally all of the world's heirarchies of power. The people at the top that benefit most from these heirarchies and who have the most control are also the most disincentivized from finding a solution that makes energy cheaper for all.

I’m an educator, and I’m forbidden from taking about fracking at work ( ° ͜ʖ °)

Right, but that visible ball isn't reliable. You have no idea when it's going to work or not.

If anyone cares, sunset is at 9:04 PM today.

For the record, the current technology we have to capture renewable energy is not capable of supporting the civilization we have built compared to how efficient oil and natural gas are as energy-dense molecules. Only very recently has battery technology come far enough to make it worth it to move a semi-truck any reasonable distance, but cargo ships are still going to be difficult to replace and account for a huge amount of pollution, as well as commerce we depend on. So it's not a "slightly better profit margin", as it would range from a literal decimation of society to straight up impossible to cut out all fossil fuels today.

But we should have started a global, methodical transition over 40 years ago, and the free market control over government and media has systematically prevented that. And THAT is unacceptable.

Kinda? I mean you would think so but they spend millions on propaganda.

It’s common sense, but obfuscated by those still spending millions to deny climate change while the world literally burns around us. Gaslighting is a hell of a propaganda technique.

I was talking to a coworker at my last job about how fracking introduces dangerous chemical into the water supply, and a random guy we never talk to came up and said “OH YOU’RE WRONG ABOUT FRACKING” like his job depended on it… we were not at all related to fracking

you see, it raises the GDP!!!

Lots of people have tried to convince us it's safe. Those are the people making money from fracking.

Oh frack off...
