The copers at r/optimistsunite LOOOOOOOOVE jaw jacking about carbon capture lol. If you mention that only 0.1% of carbon is removed by carbon capture, they immediately bring up muh technological up-scalability. Delusional shit.
I figured this was coming tbh, the writing has been on the wall quietly, behind the scenes in the US energy industry for a really long time.
very politically influential US energy firms have been quietly selling off renewables and planning to ramp up gas and weird distributed nuclear for at least the last 6 years. I used to work for one but I left when they ditched renewables.
renewables got too cheap and China dominated for American capital to be excited about anymore
Every time I hear one of these new subs they made since I stopped using anything other than the like four subs where you can say communist shit I die laughing what the fuck is optimists unite. Just call it /r/ignorethecontradictions
Not enough impersonation of reactionaries, it wouldn't trick any of them into joining in and getting banned. Seems like a non-lemmygrad venture, mods here are serious
