>The fact I need to explain this is sad.

Lol, really? Are you 12?

>Heating oil...not renewable. Runs out. Very bad. C02 emmisoons...bad.

How many houses in the Northeast heat their homes with heating oil?

15 of the 9000 or so container ships in the world create as much pollution per year as the world's vehicle fleet (1 billion or so).

Do you really believe that changing the heating source of northeastern homes will put a dent in solving CO2 emissions?

You created more CO2 obtaining the smartphone you are using to respond to me than the average household will create in home heating oil usage.

>Electricty can be as close to renewable as possible....less c02 emmisions.

I guess you have never looked into how any of this stuff is made, shipped, or disposed of. What makes the majority of electricity in this state? What is the energy loss in transmission?

>Good. More efficient at heating houses. Good.

So you have no idea about anything and basing you worldview on emotions.

Just because something doesn't fix everything doesn't mean we shouldn't improve it. Lots of small changes lead to big changes. We can get off of heating oil for heat. We can not stop using shipping containers. We can switch to more reliable energy sources. We can not switch everything to renewable energy all at once.

Hey guess what. That's planned to be changed too! Its like things don't happen overnight or something. CRAZY!!!

Ironic.
