I've heard from watching civilians after their first trip into space that what is most shocking is to see just how thin the breathable, life supporting atmosphere is on our planet. You can't live long at the top of Everest without canned oxygen yet from space, it is a tiny bump. It is like the skin of an apple.

To me, it doesn't matter if climate change is mostly driven by energy from the sun or man made changes to the composition of the atmospheric blanket that we breath. What matters is only fools would shit in the pools of water they drink from and by extension only fools would pollute the air they breath. EVs in CA powered with incremental electrons generated by burning NG are much "cleaner" than any ICE vehicles even if their environmental footprints to build and power are similar.

It makes great sense to use technology to keep the air and water vital for our life as clean as possible. But I am not a fan of "making statements" by paying 5x more for electricity while the majority of the world continues to use cheap energy.

I also prefer to see tax dollars go into encouraging as many as possible to put solar panels on their roofs and hope we can find a good way to recycle those when they are obsolete over giving the money to arms dealers to ship to Ukraine then have them blown up by the Russians so the arms dealers can sell even more arms to the US to ship over.... and by extension eventually get enough clean power here with our own NG and oil to say "piss off" to Saudi Arabia and compete with them exporting OUR energy rather than kiss their rings to export more of theirs.
