“Or, if hydrocarbons have higher value than being used for fuel then would be better.”
Like using hydrocarbons to make plastics?
Oh wait. Plastics of all kinds need to be recycled and “sustainable” or regulated out of existence. That’s another environmentalist program.
These goals are not science or even possible. It’s part of a death wish religion.
The liberals want a net zero carbon, no carbon whatsoever. They don’t want a civilization that has engineered its carbon use to beneficial for the environment, which probably could be done.
My city, for example, only sends about 10% of its garbage to the dump. Everything else gets into the recycling market. My city has done a fantastic job, so this stuff can be done. It is just the will and the willingness to have proper understanding.
For example, I’m aware that modern car actually cleans up the environment as it drives around collecting air particles that get changed when you change your filter.
We can do, but we are the carbon that environmentalists want to be rid of.
>> It’s part of a death wish religion.
^^^^^ THAT ^^^^^ is the problem with militant environmentalism — succinctly stated. It’s literally a religion, and a nihilistic one.
