Reply to comment by Locutus_Picard in New licensing round for oil and gas exploration in the North Sea "good for the environment” insists UK climate minister by WilliamMorris420

Stop talking as if I acted like I have an alternative plan up my ass.
My issue is the brain dead stupid excuse that drilling for oil and gas is actually "good for the environment**"**

Just fucking admit it's not.
I'd still be against it, but fuck me they'd at least be honest that it's fucking over the climate.

Nothing is good for the environment. What’s the alternative, solar panels assembled by slaves in China (which produces more greenhouse gasses than all other countries combined)?

Lithium battery storage with cobalt mined by African child slaves?

Wind farms made with petroleum products that fail after a few years?

Cutting down Forrest’s to make wood pellets to burn for heat?

Burning coal?

Pick your poison or turn off your ac / heat and walk everywhere if you want to virtue signal. You can’t escape it no matter how many cow farts you prevent.

Maybe if fusion becomes possible or everyone installs nuclear power plants we’ll be green, but that’s too logical.

Smart but doesn’t work everywhere, and for everyone, more development needs to be made. But that’s a great answer and solution for many.

You can literally apply that excuse to any kind of sustainable energy. It's just a weak strawman.
