I’m a bit surprised but honestly didn’t know. Seems like something that could maybe be a rider to a more impactful focus. Like if there was to be meaningful legislation on power production emissions regulations they could maybe tack on some regulation about private air travel. But yeah, that wasn’t a great option to pick at.
I really just want to see us consider other things besides only things that as an individual, my participation is miniscually helpful. I do what I can, we try to live conscientiously, but I’m tired of being told to give up more when the biggest offenders have done nothing.
Lots of other things are being done. Individual contributions do help, but you’re also one of 8 billion people.
The real solutions will come from the energy sector, capital moving to green/sustainable investment, and a long-term realistic transition away from fossil fuels. Until that happens, were basically just bailing water out of a sinking ship - helpful and important, but not something that will fix the ship.
Good news is progress is being made even in places hostile to such progress (like the US).
Right, I guess the progress just feels like it’s not happening since I’m boiling alive on the daily. I just hope it’s enough that the next generation won’t have to suffer for the ignorance and greed that’s brought this about.
I feel you 100% man. That’s why I got involved - I felt like I needed to try to be some small part of the solution. Idk that we’re making a ton of headway all the time (I lobby to Republicans) but I’d rather tilt at the ol windmill than sit idly by.
