Your entire world structure is built on a finite resource. The infrastructure that uses this resource and everything that comes out of it are generating ecological consequences down the line. If your political ideology doesn't take this into account it's not a serious thing.

I’m all about taking care of the environment but natural resource concerns are bunk - long history of this. Scarcity of resources isn’t a real problem. I know this sounds shocking but it’s 100% true.

I'm talking about petroleum specifically. It's not infinite, therefore unless conditions become such that we dont need it, it will be a problem eventually. You're looking at a complete revamp of all existing shipping and power generation.

“Peak oil” will not happen - mark my words. We already have such advances in fracking, (revolutionary) and natural gas as a super abundant alternative. Solar is becoming much more viable as well. We are so far from having any shortage of fossil fuels.

It has happened already, and the EROEI on those new techniques has a much faster extraction bell curve and goes negative much faster than conventional Wells. Solar isn't a valid alternative because the enitre production and logistics chain for it is fossil powered.

You have to beware anything the “environmental lobby” tells you. These people (Sierra Club, Greenpeace CBD, etc.) do very little for the environment. They oppose domestic energy projects in country’s with strong regulations, push development to unregulated countries.

Fuck all those people #1 that's not where I get my information from and #2 I'd prefer much more radical solution

We don’t need a radical solution because there isn’t a real problem. Fossil fuels are super abundant with current technology. Alternatives to fossil fuels are on the rise to, but they wouldn’t need to be to ensure the continuation of the current economic system.

The continuation of the current system is itself a huge problem, even if there was no resource or pollution problem. Industrial technocapital itself IS liberalism, insulation from nature and selection pressure is systemic fragilization, enslavement, modernity.

Technology and freedom are inversely related.
