That sounds like a full-assed solution to a problem, even if it's for the "wrong" reason. Today's liberals can barely manage a quarter-ass
Yea it's just frustrating when people try to whitewash Nixon by saying he cared about the environment when really it was political expediency.
That and nowadays chuds are against the clean air and water act and there argument is literally "because china" still clinging to the 16l5 year old talking point about China still being the worst polluter in the world (they suddenly don't understand the concept of per caputa) while also ignoring the fact China is literally doing victory laps around us on renewables
They just about cleaned up burning fucking coal. Lightyears in decades.
Yup they're literally reinventing their entire civilization around clean energy faster than American dipshits can update their talking points.
Don't worry I'm sure in a couple years they will have only made themselves the most energy indpendant country in the world as an act of aggression, even though environmental activists have been screaming at America how that's a no brainer for decades.
I mean why would a nation want to stop contributing to fossil fuels while also making themselves less dependant on other countries and revitalizing their manufacturing sector at the same time to sell that emerging technology to other countries who want to be energy dependant.
Not like that policy would have literally solved all the problems oh idk say... Germany is facing right now.
