The new green deal shit is the craziest thing I have ever witnessed being pushed in American politics. Literally the only thing that would come from that would be the downfall of the US.

I dont understand how basic stuff like not polluting rivers is the craziest thing you have ever witnessed. And not sure why it would lead to the downfall of the USA. But ok.

Although I'm not sure if wind power and whatnot is the most effective way of reducing emissions, I don't get the general attitude against going green either.

I've been wondering if bridging the gap with nuclear power while investing heavily into nuclear fusion wouldn't be better than putting the same resources into wind. Solar seems reasonable for decentralization at the very least though.
Keep in mind that nuclear power was researched for war purposes. As a result the nuclear power reactors that we have now aren't anywhere near as efficient or clean (less dirty) as they could be.

And in general, not polluting your environment should be a no-brainer. I don't think anyone would be dumb enough to argue the negative health implications of smoking at this point, and polluting the shit out of the environment is comparable to at least a weaker form of that.

Still not sold on "climate change" though. Too many unknown variables. If we had any clue how earth's ecosystem worked we'd be controlling the weather.
