    It’s funny you assume they have to convince you.

    We know already about climate change, we know already about geopolitics and sovereignty issues, we know fossil fuels are a finite resource, which means they’ll inevitably get more expensive over time as we run through the most accessible deposit and go to ones that are harder and harder to harvest.

    But you think they should convince you to use renewable, and not the other way around: why would you want to stick to fossil fuels? Name your argument and back it with solid sources, please!

      I don’t have one and I’m in favor of every renewable + nuclear

      I think using fossil fuels increases dependence on other countries like the south middle east, which both causes instability in those regions, and makes us vulnerable to them.

      Though you are right about how fossil fuels will become more expensive eventually, we’ve been finding more coal and oil deposits than we have been depleting… At least according to like an hour of research I did a while ago. It’s close, but I don’t think we will be running out soon.

      Though the ozone layer is healing specifically because we cut back on that shit.

      My point was - why fucking make shit up and lie in favor of renewables and nuclear? Why not quote proper sources? There’s plenty of positives to renewables but man, some of these writers are incompetent.
