Maybe this was Trump’s plan all along. I knew deep down he loves the planet and trees. The pedo capitalist fascist mask is just a cover for a loveable treehugger.

Soon the whole US will be rolling "clean" coal.

Definitely a good start on dismantling the auto industry. Cancelling all those investments into new technology in favor of eking out just a few final years with the old stuff. In a mere few years, all that messy manufacturing will be gone over to China and millions more Americans can just sit and relax in front of their TV’s

Yeah the one good thing to come out of this shitty marvel movie plot quality situation.

I’d say it’s more a Black Mirror episode.

"Should" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. I'm not holding my breath.

I am sure the oil barons will be willing to give up their super profits for the good of humanity.

You would think so. It's the sane thing to do.
Yeah, it's not going to happen.

Good. We shouldn't have these old ass fuel sources still dominating our society. We are better than that

You have way more faith in humanity than I think we deserve at this point.

U still have faith? I have zero faith in humanity.

Now if the UN, the most powerful (lol) body in the world has said it, it’ll definitely (lololol) happen!
