Comment on Why is coal and fossil fuels still used?

Guess we better just ship fertilizers instead of tvs and phones.

Also, there are concepts for sailing cargo vessels

Also, we could make nuclear cargo vessels.

Saying we have to use bunker fuel to maintain our current life style or that we need to maintain current life style is just a lack of creativity and buys into the dogshit status quo that capitalism has trained into you. We’ve know about climate change for over a hundred years and every time anyone suggests doing anything about it, the cudgel of “whAT aBout tHe eCoNOmy!” gets brought up. I don’t care anymore. I don’t care about your pretty little life style. I don’t care about your 401k plan. I just don’t care.

  You really want me to care about your convinces when you don’t care about the ecosystem?

    yeah. actually I do care about the ecosystem but I don’t think messing up everything is the best way of fixing stuff. I’d much rather electric trains carry the bulk of transportation than simply stopping all transportation
    
    if you want to ‘save the world’ while stopping
    
    chip manufacture
    
    the internet (because the world needs new chips often)
    
    Lemmy (because no internet)
    
    food (because less agriculture from other countries) <-- which we all want (no shipping = no avocados, no Indian spices)
    
    medicine <-- which we need
    
    the majority of jobs <-- which we really need
    
    then go and try, but don’t be surprised when no one is in favor of your insane plan
