    That's the problem with you liberals - always arguing with yourselves instead of getting stuff done. ;)

    I already knew the answer :)
    I’ve spent some time in nuke plants and my brother works for the NRC.

    “Nevada’s opposition has resulted in the Obama, Trump and Biden administrations declaring it effectively dead.”

    The climate changes, just not how they want it to fit in their climate models….which they altered the data to fit their agenda.

    The free market has done more for the environment than any of these political phonies. Greta, Gore, and the rest of these phonies use more “carbon” than most anyone. From smokeless boilers that burned bituminous more efficiently, to the electrostatic precipitator, baghouses, wet scrubbers, dry scrubbers, on to REACT technology with saleable byproducts of combustion, putting coal plant emissions on par with a natural gas fired plant of the same output.

    Nothing is more efficient and effective at reducing emissions than the market and the capital investments made to bring these technologies to fruition.

    What destroys capital are the various tax scams and regulations…that really benefit donors over market competition. Look at what state governments have done to solar, where a company used to pay people for selling back to the grid, now instead limiting customers in what they can return to the grid, even going so far as to limit the amount of solar they can install, banning battery backup and storage, and so on.

    What else is effective? Plant more trees and manage the forrest. Classifying CO2 as a pollutant :rolleyes: . They lost their argument.

    CO2 literally is a pollutant because it is taking solid/liquid materials dug out of the ground and releasing all the carbon from them into the atmosphere. If the free market had anything to say about it they would just burn and not care about the consequences because it costs money. It's called The tragedy of the commons.

    That’s just not true. Government was way late to the game even with the CAA. Companies were developing emissions controls long before that, back into the 1800’s. Your argument is without merit. I see you’re another one scared of liberty, and prefer subserviency instead. You’ll even use fallacies to defend your masters.

    It seems to me like modern conservatism has turned into anarchocapitalism.
