Oh boy, more conversations next time I visit my dad. 😑
Makes me wish I'd never told him my new car is electric. Every time I visit it's a very steep ramp from "How's the car going?" to a 'conversation' about how bad renewable energy really is.
You can’t just tell him to get fucked?
This is the way.
Along with flooring the accelerator, and hearing him scream like a little girl.
Sure, I could do that, but for a number of reasons I choose not to.
Your loss.
Enjoy being disrespected by someone for the rest of their life.
That's a lot of assumption from very little information.
I swear, if conservative business groups owned renewable energy companies, we’d be net zero now.
This tells you everything you need to know about Dutton's position:
Dutton will make the comments on Friday at an event organised by the Institute of Public Affairs, a Liberal-aligned thinktank that has publicly opposed curbs on coal-fired power and has lobbied against the net zero by 2050 policy.
Talk about being down a rabbit hole...
Voldemort telling the LNP think-tank (IPA) that nuclear is the natural progression from coal.
I foresee an extended period in Opposition, for these forward-thinkers!
Just ignore him - he's a troll. The idea of Dutton overseeing the construction of a nuclear power plant in Australia is a horrifying thought.
He’s not wrong about mini-reactors being the next big thing, but he’s disingenuous because he won’t invest in the training, or invest in the infrastructure needed to support it safely.
