minus-squareUnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·edit-210 days ago This is like going to a coal miner’s convention and telling them fossil fuels are going to be outlawed. It’s going to a coal miner’s convention and saying “the days of cheap coal are over, now coal is $1000 lb”. And when the coal miners ask “won’t that lead to more people going to alternatives” replying “we will make alternatives illegal”. Like, it’s not a material change in policy. It’s a delusional assumption of what the US is capable of imposing on the rest of the world.
