With climate change looming, it seems so completely backwards to go back to using it again.

Is it coal miners pushing to keep their jobs? Fear of nuclear power? Is purely politically motivated, or are there genuinely people who believe coal is clean?

Edit, I will admit I was ignorant to the usage of coal nowadays.

Now I’m more depressed than when I posted this

        I’m quite certain we can manage to stop existing before nuclear fuel runs out as well.

          Is lemmy just stupid?

          Like seriously?

          The sun is an infinite resource to humanity. This isn’t a debatable fact. Yet I seem to be receiving downvotes despite this.

          The sun will outlive humanity a million times.

          We can either harness it’s energy and other sources like it or run out of energy.

          It seems people just don’t like the word “renewable”

          That just makes those people stupid.

            Lemmy at this point is the same as Reddit for quality of discussion.

              The sad part is it seems like this has become a recent problem. As in the past few days.

              I deliberately switched from sh.itjust.works to lemmy.world because I was sick of hexbear users starting fights and just being disingenuous with their arguments.

              Now it seems that’s normal everywhere…
