OMG. The first sentence: "designate natural gas and nuclear as environmentally sustainable energy sources"

I argue that nuclear is making our descendants pay for our current consumption because of the waste. It can be argued that there are storage mechanisms that are safe tor two hundred millennium (I do not accept those arguments, but it is an argument).

But natural gas: It is not sustainable (it is a fossil fuel, it will run out). Burning it produces CO2 which is burning the world, and producing it releases huge amounts of methane that cannot even be counted and that is worse than CO2 at burning the world.

Such greed, such hubris, such willingness to ruin the world that we borrow from our children to satisfy our greed.

Evil.



Morality is the privilege of the rich.

In times of war, morality is often the first casualty.
