We literally have the technology to make fossil fuels obsolete. Why aren't we using it?

Because the established fossil fuel energy companies don't want to share their market and thus spread false information and fund biased studies to further their grip on the market.
Greed is gonna kill our entire species at some point.
>We literally have the technology to make fossil fuels obsolete. Why aren't we using it?
Because people are afraid of Canadian nuclear power.
The same reason conservatives use on literally every single argument
>Muh ToO ExPeNsIvE
a lot of places are, but the USA isn't because their economy is based on foreign war
I tend to think about it like a skill tree in videogame, we put all our points into the fossil fuels tree and are at the end game with all our gear for that class and know it well, we could respect but its just too much effort to learn a whole new skill set.
Please explain. What tech? Solar? Sure, kid.
Clouds
Windless days
Cold temperatures
No we dont you silly bastard. We have ideas that are not ready for prime time. But cucks like you believe what fucking stupid bastards tell you.
Just simply not true.
No, we literally do not.
Don't forget indium and gallium. Not enough mined to make those panels in 100 years.
What happens when the wind stops blowing? Sorry honey. We can’t watch TV tonight. The wind stopped blowing.
You faggots can’t even pay for your own healthcare and food. How are you gonna pay for expensive electricity too?
I don't get it either, why are you wypipo always giving power to your enemies. Moved all production to China and based the worlds transportation on oil. I heard the first cars were electric. Can you imagine a world where those towel heads never had a dime?
usa should remove all protection for your country buy solar panels instead — hope u speak russian buddy
Tell Putin you dont need that for modern solar panels.
Probably robbery, at some point. Who knows? I would stop wearing those nice shoes and fancy watches tho
>Canada
LoL I'm done
Because if we don't use up all the oil in the ground it will just build up until there will be an unstoppable natural disaster. Imagine a fire that burns for years and years black oil smoke in the air non stop for years. That's why. Oil is our friend if used correctly it will last and keep our world comfortable. Coal is the same way. If we don't use it we may find ourselves fighting never ending disasters from large deposits for years and years.
>probably robbery at some point
Isn’t that what socialism is? Legalized robbery?
because nothing will ever be cheaper than pumping some smelly muck out of the ground and lighting it on fire.
>i heard the first cars were electric
You know you could google search that shit to stop you sounding like a fucking moron.
Got to be bait
Plus how else are we supposed to heat the planet!
As we all know, the Earth was completely uninhabitable before the industrial revolutions because of all the oil buildup in the ground. It was only in 1944 that we invented seawater to replace all the oil we'd drained from the oceans.
You remind me of the assholes who think we have the technology to conquer space.
Its cheaper and climate is about to correct itself with Katla
And you remind me of the assholes who think we never will.
Gosh I didn't know we finally figured out how to make working fusion reactors.
Most people haven't a clue of how much energy they actually use \ consume in their daily lives, often it's far too much for a reasonable solar \ wind system. I would never risk my life heating my home in the winter with a non hydrocarbon power source. (except nuke power.)
Are you retarded? A cloudy day doesn’t mean you won’t have power that day lol
You are able to stock pile it to a certain degree
Anything that doesn't fuck up the atmosphere is fine, nuclear included.
We may not. Humans aren't as smart as you think.
>The first electric car in the United States was developed in 1890-91 by William Morrison of Des Moines
Seems like it was pretty early on if you ask me.
If we are so fucking smart why haven’t we made a global warming fixing machine?
Kinda this
I primarily use solar, got my house all set up. I have to be relatively stingy with my electricity, although to have quite a few good panels.
I’ve got some back up stuff too I’ve used when I’ve gone over in the past
That being said we should be using 10000x more renewable energy in the USA than we currently are. I think we could go 100% renewable with the right system, as of right now though back ups are probably smart
>why aren't we
Most resources go to babysitting retards, faggots, and niggers.
we have, its possible to aggregate CO2 into a solid mass. The current machine tech is very inefficient at the moment however.
But not the first cars.
You.
Fucking.
Moron.
thats like asking "Why dont we have space colonies?" because we have invented space rockets.
itt: people who have never heard of batteries
>According to OECD DAC statistics, since aid began in the 1960s donors have given a grand total of $502 billion to sub-Saharan Africa, which is worth about $866 billion in today's prices.
No need to get racist or homophobic about it, there's technically enough for everyone. We just can't figure out how to distribute it without having to enrich the rich in the process.
Solar energy gets cheaper as you build more panels...
Was that a serious question, OP? Come on it doesn't take more then a 1st grade education to know that answer. Money talks and everyone in "power" loves that green shit. It won't change. That's why the wealthy will live on Mars and shit. And they will most certainly be laughing at us not wealthy peasants. We will be on Earth calling the ACME company for a homemade space ship. Skull fuck the wealthy is what I say.
I'm a solarfag but this argument makes sense.
STOP BEING A PARASITE!
>Why aren't we using it?
Already existing power infrastructure that outputs solar, cities being shit, (You) being a whiny nigger wanting green gibs instead of just buying a solar pannel yourself.
Once the weather stops being shit I'll order some solar panels myself and maybe a mini wind turbine too. Stop asking for the government to improve your life like a helpless faggot, hell if possible go completely off grid if you want though your Internet might end up being shit as a result.
Look on the bright side, at least our tax dollars go to protecting the sovereignty of Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Health care was more affordable when the government was the least involved and not kissing Big Pharma's ass and setting up beyond ridiculous regulations that only benefit huge corporations with deep pockets and an army of layers.
That's why you can't get your health insurgence from some mom and pop shop easily. Also fat diabetics make everything more expensive when you have to pay for their health care.
I mean this may very well be a shitpost but in context to Centralia in Pennsylvania you could make an argument for that then again that fire only started and continues to this day because of a mining accident.
Ha! Ha! We have power, buddy. Ha! Ha! I'm the Canadian devil, friend.
Welcome to Yas Forums, you may notice you are a nigger faggot, I'm a nigger faggot, everyone knows is nigger faggots.
Let's see, you have to be stingy with your electricity and electric cars determine how far we can actually drive between lengthy recharging. Yeah, boy, that's really impressive.
checked
Fucking dubs
Again...?!
Just think, nasa spends ~$5 billion a year. We could be traveling the stars by now but instead have to keep paying the dumbest of people to reproduce at incredible rates.
indeed - nuclear is the way to go. People are just too pussy to do it. Only way forward. Solar and wind is cute, and for some remote/rural areas it might be a worthy solution, but the massive urban metropolis need nuke power. Just not the same nuclear power plant design from 1945. Time to update that shit.
Because waaaaahhhhhhhh nuclear bad. Pic related.
Maybe a cure for baldness and penis enlargment would've been a reality by now. No bro, we gotta cure that AIDS shit first.
People just dont get the amount of materials it takes to make a solar panel..
The science says that we use Nuclear power. It is safe and it is clean.
>want to buy green energy
>cant because it's double the amount of normal electricity
>normal electricity is $200/mo, so green would be $400/mo
>consider getting solar roof
>cant because it's thousands of dollars that i dont have
you're move op
...because you touch yourself at night user, now we all have to live in this shithole we call a planet
Return to Tradition and just enslave conquered people. Free energy.
