Seems a number of people want to discuss this topic and it expands into so many different areas, but not really a Covid vaccine topic, so I created this thread. A comment from @funfor in the vaccine topic was -
"It is all about control. Climate Change , Global Warming or whatever you want to call it is next.. You will do what they say because you are scared...." Fear is a motivating factor, as is "doing the right thing" but money tends to be a better one. When it comes to money vs doing the right thing, many times money will win because there is no other viable choice. I do see what looks to be a big push to get people into solar. It helps ease the demands on a somewhat over taxed electric grid, and overall, even taking into consideration solar manufacturing and recycling impacts and all, it seems to be a better choice than burning fossil fuels or just buying electricity to heat/cool homes. As for "control", we saw the 30% Federal tax credit for solar reinstated till 2032, and not sure how much of a control thing is is, but costs of fossil fuels have increased to make solar look more attractive. Whether you believe that climate change is real or not, it would at least seem that the skids are being greased to push us in a particular direction. I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing, because some people just won't change toward a greater good unless the benefits for doing so far outweigh the costs for doing otherwise. As an example, I was content to heat my house with coal for the last 10 years because it was a fraction of the cost of the alternatives in relation to ACTUAL $$ in my pocket.
