Students hit day 5 of hunger strike seeking McMaster University move away from fossil fuels

Maybe students should live to learn in the dark

“They believe they can do better or exceed what the turbines can do with the possibility of generating revenue,” Cooper said.

In other words they are hopeless

The biggest problem with climate activist is they want it all right now like a spoiled child

If they got what they wanted many people would die do they think it won't be them or are they so diluted that they don't even realize the destruction that would happen from there demands

Look fossil fuels are primitive and finite. Nobody's saying they didn't serve us well to get us where we are.
But the future has already started no matter how much you want to hold on to the past.
And for the future we need to figure out clean energy. To figure out clean energy we have to make investments, explore new ideas and simply accept what we're currently doing is long-term unsustainable.
Get over it.

Who's exactly saying it's not the future I hope no one really thinks that

The only disagreement is making unrealistic deadlines

Well that's politics for you, right? Paper is patient.

a reply to: Peeple

Yes,like us mining the seabed. Then wondering what went wrong. Or discovering wind and solar are not free.
And the fact there is no such thing as "free" energy. Agenda 2030 is a Mathusian lie

Well yes a good example of the short-sightedness and issues with maximising profit in areas of ...'basic needs'
Without fusion there won't be any (approximately) free energy that's true and peeps are working on it.
But I think that's a little twisted logic because the only argument pro fossil is: it's still kind of cheap (for now though that has already started to change)
Not because 'they' want it, but because of reality and circumstances.

Because it has to be subsidized. Free solar and wind is a fail due to mining it needs and it really always was a transfer of wealth.

Anyways they should live life in the dark and cold end of story.

Raising the cost of fossil fuels is not helping at this stage

Every single step we take to eliminate fossil fuels is powered by fossil fuels untell that changes making them more expensive is only making it take longer to transition and costing more resources to do so

And weirdly at the same time we have to make all those social changes like crt and dei and esg . Strange that?

a reply to: fernalley
The more important question is why so much effort has been made to stop progress

If we where to take a vote from every person on earth I bet you would find the majority want the same things it's the ones in power that give the extremes of society power and only for there own benefit

Start rolling wireless/Internet outages in the area. Allow maybe 40% uptime.

Tell them this is a taste of the world they’re asking for.

They’ll break within an hour.

unis and students need to be inventing/engineering a future that works for all and only cheap energy can do that.. until that happens we're more liable to build what we know.. gas/coal PowerStation's than not and stick with petrol/diesel cars than change..

few will risk freezing or starving their families based on student demands..

They need some insect based protein immediately.

I wonder if they've ever experienced cold, or how they'll feel when granny freezes next winter.

As i've always said, if you take away gas piped into homes then people will go back to wood burning stoves for heating and cooking.

Climate Change is and always has been a ruse to generate more profit for oil companies by monopolising the industry.

Electric cars being the perfect example, do morons who advocate for them understand the manufacturing process or consider where the electricity that powers them comes from?

They need to go to China and boycott the CCP for building 100+ new coal-fired plants a year over there.

China would tell them to go eat bugs.

Let them eat solar!

Have them mine the materials, build the panels, install them, maintain them, and use only the power they generate.

They wouldn't last a week without their social media fix

let them eat zee bugs.after 5 days of that, they'll be wolfin down burgers, chicken and pizza in record amounts.

It is my most humble opinion that the climate change agenda is actually another way to usher in communism.

By dictating everything from appliances in our homes, to mandating how much power we should use, to dictating what to set our home thermostats at, to dictating what types of vehicles we should be driving, to mandating what foods we should be eating, . . . . . .
