Yeah, I think massive chemical batteries for storing excess electricity to facilitate a contrived green energy market is a bad idea.

We need an authoritarian figure to nationalize the energy supply, shut down these wasteful expressions of late stage capitalism, mandate rooftop solar, and build out our nuclear fleet.
No. We absolutely do not need that.
Well, I don’t know how we’re supposed to fix the climate while playing nice with bourgeois interests.
Trying to fix the climate with authoritarianism is roughly comparable to fixing a leaky faucet by burning down the house.
I do not understand how climate change is analogous to a leaky faucet with respect to anything.
But you did understand the “burn down the house” part, right? Because that’s all I really need from you.
Sometimes you have to intentionally burn some stuff to create a firebreak and save a lot more other stuff.
Uh huh. But here, you’re burning down the house because it has a leaky faucet.
Authoritarian bullshit is a completely unreasonable response to this problem.
A little bit of authoritarianism is what we need now to mitigate climate change and avoid the much worse kind of authoritarianism we will be in for as climate change gets worse. There’s no hippy la-la conscious capitalism way out of this situation.
