No one is calling for the sudden shutdown of fossil fuel sources. It is a transition and fossil fuels will continue to play an important role.

My comment is that the fossil fuels are “cheap” only because the actual damaging effects of them are not priced into what the consumer sees.

Everything has drawbacks. Renewables and nuclear just has fewer drawbacks than fossil fuels.

Critical minerals in batteries are more than 95% recyclable with today’s technology so that isn’t as big of a deal as people think.

Dirt cheap energy only if you don’t include the social cost of carbon

Can’t disagree. However the negative environmental impact of fracking and the delay it caused to the transition to actually clean energy was not worth it. Completely short sighted.

What amount of compensation do you suggest?

Amen. Love that movie.

If a person just messes up and hits my car they should be punished. Monetarily. If they shoot my dog I’ll ensure they’re punished if the courts won’t administer justice.

If someone shot my dog the hunter would become the hunted.

This. Most people who say all-seasons are sufficient never drove on modern snow tires. I have studded tires from my time in Maine now and they're even better, especially on ice. They are louder obviously but I'll take performance over noise.
