Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

We still don't have the technology to move of them. Energy storage is severely lacking.
I bet if we had started the process in the 1970s like Carter wanted we'd be a lot further along by now.
It's possible, but it's not like technology halted in that time and there has been a big energy independence drive regardless of Reagan.
The harsh truth is that we still need fossil fuels today.
We're probably going to need them for decades to come, even if we have massive green energy drives.
Just how much money has been spent on fossil fuel extraction that could have been spent of tech development instead?
