Yup. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING made from any type of product derived from petroleum. Let's see how that works out. Fookin' idjit ecotossers!

[DesertRhino]

Awesome...any advice on how to catch bone cancer?

[rktman]

Drink more oil? Use more talcum powder? Stand near 5G towers?

Investments made during the war mobilization yielded a robust middle class and decades of sustained, broadly shared prosperity.

Misleading, they neglect to add that the U.S.A. was largely untouched by war, while other nations were devastated by war and our productivity rebuilt other nations and supplied products worldwide. Other countries were crippled while we were productive. FDR got way too much credit for our postwar growth, while he was largely to blame for prolonging the depression.

Liberals’ Teslas can’t move one inch without petroleum. What do they think tires are made of? There are thousands of essential products made from petroleum-derived hydrocarbons. So-called “fossil fuels” are essential to everyday life, even if we never used another drop as fuel. So, libs can never get rid of them, but what the fools can do is make all of the petroleum-derived products we use (plastic, anyone?) vastly more expensive.

Vox will tell us how to make China #1, in addition to being #1 polluter and CO2 emitter. Start with releasing a deadly virus.

A similar mobilization will be necessary for the US to decarbonize its economy fast enough to avert the worst of climate change.

Author makes irrational, unproveable statement without evidnece, and thinks no one will notice?

The author needs 30 days on a farm, and then another month in a big rig.

The climageddonists are clueless assclowns. Imbeciles would be too kind a term for them. As they lecture us in their synthetic outerwear.

[Thud]

Boil all the pretty pink unicorns and use their grease as fuel.

[rktman]

Then 30 days in a nut house. Obviously insane. But, vox.com

[rktman]

Isn’t that called ‘rendering’?

[Sequoyah101]

Sorry, no. Out to lunch and ignorant as a post.

Ain’t skeered of globull warming.

These people could be level headed but are so full of BS it is running out of both ears.

[Paladin2]

Metallurgical Solar power will produce Steel?

My teenager Diesel cars will be fueled by windmills? [How does THAT work?]

Sounds like typical ‘Rat Utopian BS.

[SunkenCiv]

...given the trajectory of global warming...

Like H E double hockey sticks.

“ A physicist, engineer, researcher, inventor, serial entrepreneur, and MacArthur “genius” grant winner, Griffith’s recent work ....”

Well, we finally found out who eventually invents the Mr. Fusion personal power generator.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Why would we want to decarbonize? Carbon stores the sun's energy. What could be more natural than sunshine? We have all the solar power we need locked up in coal and oil.
 

[SaxxonWoods]

No thanks, we’ll take the climate change.

[desertfreedom765]

It’s really about crashing our economy. They want as many people as possible to be poor and angry.

Easier to control that way.

[rktman]

I object. The subject of the post may be ignorant. Posting it serves as a reminder just how stoopid these eco tossers are. 🙌😂🌋
