Fossil Fuels are a 5.9 Trillion Public Charity

It does not include the health and infrastructure damage caused by fossil fuel pollution. The people pay for that. We also get to pay for the oil spills and accidents.

Define 'health and infrastructure damage'. Fossils aren't used as fuel. Oil producers pay for their own spills and accidents. Oil companies pay for their own spills and accidents.

People will buy whatever energy source they want. You don't get to dictate that market.

Do you really believe that? Or do you just make up shit as you go along? https://www.epa.gov/emergency-response/who-pays Ever hear of the superfund? Ever hear of anything?
Yes the government has the power to help some industries and harm others to make the country cleaner and safer.

Neither the EPA nor the Superfund has cleaned up anything.

I will say, that the EPA using superfund money caused one of the largest environmental accidents within the lower 48 at the Gold King mine in Colorado...

This is what happens when you let an unaccountable government run things, sort of like Chernobyl...

The EPA said the Federal Tort Claims Act prevents the agency from paying claims that result from "discretionary" government actions. Congress passed the law to allow government agencies — and in this case, contractors working on their behalf — to act "without the fear of paying damages in the event something went wrong while taking the action," according to a press release from the EPA.

$1.2 billion in claims against the EPA for this environmental disaster and the EPA is telling the plaintiffs You don't get shit because we're the government, so fuck you!

I remember this. A river that was a source of water for a fairly large community was poisoned as a result.

Yup.

Typical of fascists. They don't care about anyone but themselves.
 


We'll see how you feel about that when the NE runs out of fuel in the dead of winter. People are going to die. :(

Not to mention more people die of cold than do from it being hot...

Cold weather is 20 times as deadly as hot weather, and it's not the extreme low or high temperatures that cause the most deaths, according to a study published Wednesday.
The study found the majority of deaths occurred on moderately hot and moderately cold days instead of during extreme temperatures.

Some sites try to fool you by adding in the cost of carbon to the equation, but that doesn't help you pay the bill when it comes due...

Electric heating is both inefficient and costly. It's fine if you live somewhere like Phoenix where I do and use a heat pump (A/C run in reverse). The coldest days barely reach freezing and are few. Most of the time, you are in the 50's or 60's during the winter.
But live somewhere where it gets really cold and your electric bill can easily top $1000 a month for heating.

Heat pumps are good for certain places, such as Phoenix where you want AC running anyway in the summer, or the Pacific NW where winters are mild and summers are somewhat hot and humid (nothing like Phoenix furnace heat though!).

Where winters are harsh and summers aren't particularly warm, heat pumps are very limited in what they can do and can be expensive to run.

This does touch on the cost of running electric cars everywhere as well. Electricity can be expensive in some areas compared to gasoline or fuel oils.

so now gubmint data is ok? Your drugs are making you delusional and you're saying stupid crap.
