There is no part of that that's simple.
If you want to solve the energy problem, invent and mass produce a cheap, non-polluting, zero-point energy generator. It is actually this simple.
Place renewables every where, easy. It doesnt need to be non polluting. And if you were really serious about pollution you'd get rid of the cars everywhere and build public transport. This shit isnt rocket science or hard. Its obfuscated on purpose by the wealthy.
If it's so easy, why don't you do it? You don't feel like it?
Why would that matter? You said it was easy.
I have no power. No one listens to me. Case in point; this thread.
Because merely identifying another near-insurmountable cause and saying it's "simple" or "easy" is pointless and dismissive. That's my point. You've offered no solutions or even suggestions for how to find a solution.
You were just unsatisfied with the simplicity of the solutions. Because we're neck deep in capitalist bullshit the solutions actually are that easy. Just install renewables. Its that easy. Stop electing silver spooned babies who just feed corporations more power, its that easy look into who you are voting for, its literally that easy. Make unions, its that easy to get worker power back. Just have fucken unions. None of this shit is rocket science and you are floundering in learned helplessness like our situation actually IS insurmountable. It is not, not by any means of the word.
I get the impression that you want these things to happen. I agree that doing these things would improve the situation.
If they are easy and simple, why haven't you done any of them?
Great! What's your plan?
Oh right, I forgot I had all the power and was the president of the world right now. Let me just call up Goldman Sachs, tell them fossil fuel investment is cancelled. I already answered this question you are being obtuse on purpose. I dont have power. I can get my own solar panels, I can't pay for the fucken city to have them. I can lobby my community, I can't lobby California where I dont live. You are purposefully misunderstanding what I am saying in an attempt to try to make this stuff seem complicated and in need of a 150k point plan, its not. You just need the people with power to actually push for the things I am saying instead of dipping their heads in the power and greed cups. It is simple, you are refusing to see it for whatever reason, Idk maybe you're a chud with the way you're arguing this is solo soooo hard, and if its not why hasn't your poor powerless ass changed the world?
