Al Gore was in his 60s when he won the Nobel for his work on environmental climate change. John Kerry, the current US Climate Envoy and the guy who got us back into the Paris Accords, is almost 80. They both know more than most on the issue.
Exceptions not the rule, the majority of baby boomers are actively working against climate change and technology
Perhaps in your imagination. We've passed the largest legislation for climate change ever, plus the CHIPS Act has brought high tech manufacturing and R&D back to the US.
That legislation is gonna accelerate climate change.
For sure...changing to a non carbon based society will accelerate climate change.,wait....
Let me know when we make that change
The bill provided the money for that change.
Problem is it provided more money for climate accelerating things. Like more road infrastructure. Hoping for EV's but americans are still trending to larger and larger gas guzzling trucks and SUVs.
Plus opening up new oil and gas extraction leases.
What you think is road infrastructure is actually stuff like the $100 million that they are going to spend on developing dependable chargers for EVs. With tax credits and manufacturers wanting to sell new product the EV market should thrive in a few years
As far as oil leases go, sometimes you have to give to get a vote. That's sausage making.
Ah sorry i was lumping in the previous infrastructure bill, i forgot there were two. It was $110 billion for road infrastructure.
Inflation Reduction Act.
Right. The infrastructure investment act happened too though, also with Bidens support.
Yes, it was a bipartisan bill.
And there are/were younger, more energetic, and more knowledgeable options than both of them. The dinosaurs don't have unique skills, they're just names we've known for years. We have a country of 330M, there are plenty of talented and capable people to choose from.
They don't give Nobels to your more knowledgeable people do they?
They give Nobels to people whose names are known. It wasn't a recognition of brilliance, it was a recognition of impact. Put a younger, smarter, and more vibrant leader in place and they get it instead.
Correction. They don't give Nobles to people who don't do things. But, no skin off my nose. If you have a younger, smarter, and more vibrant leader put them up for election and quit screaming at the clouds about age.
