Arguments I've heard from conservatives on the street usually amount to, "That solution isn't 100%. Not good enough."
No, solar can't cover 100% of our energy needs.
No, taxing the snot out of the rich doesn't magically solve our financial problems.
They seem to have this all-or-none idea about problem solving. I suspect that comes from Fox News propaganda and not an inborn quality like their lack of empathy.
Those on the left also tend towards simplistic solutions, you can see it on lemmy everyday. But they're far more reasonable about taking healthy steps rather than trashing partial solutions.
It's like the conspiracy mind, one small idea and it either makes or breaks everything.
