Trying to develop future energy sources other than fossil fuels makes sense to anyone with an education...
Nothing wrong with "trying" to develop tech. Pretending like its already here or will be here next Thursday is preposterous. I dont think you "educated" folks understand how dependent the global nations are on the oil market. Shutting it down quickly would be catastrophic to the markets and to the populations.
Im completely infavor of newer, better, healthier tech. Not because of the fabricated global warming myth, but because its the right thing to do. But Im also not so irresponsible as to shut down all current tech immediately as Joe Biden suggested during the debates.
Its like the parable of the fool who takes a single plate to go collect two items from the market. Salt and pepper. He gets to the salt merchant, the merchant fills his plate. He goes to the pepper merchant, flips his plate upside down dumping the salt on the floor and says "put it here on this side so it doesnt mix with the salt". Gets back home, flips it over to get the salt and dumps the pepper on the floor. So eager to solve a problem and at the same time ruining both things because he was a fool.
