Some good ideas in here.

That's driven up the price of gas and, by extension, sent electricity prices into orbit.

Oh no, they’re not really going to try to ….

Some of that has been caused by the extra costs associated with rolling out transmission lines for new renewable power plants.

….oh they did lol. “Some of that” 🤣

“Renewables” are the cause for the power bill increases, not gas.

The same advertising agencies funding the anti-Pylon and anti-Wind farm Astroturf Campaigns run pro-fracking campaigns.

They're a necessary evil since governments around the world couldn't save us from climate change over the last 70 years and have left it to the last minute.

Blame anyone who doesn't understand climate change, did nothing to help, or actively made it worse.

Holy shit it would be an easy job working PR for an oil company or conservative government to hoodwink average people. They'll lap up any shit with a funky headline and refuse to do anything about their consumerist, wasteful, and excessive lifestyles. The reason it's easier for conservative/right-wing governments to win government is because the average morons will believe anything put in a headline without further examination. Critical thinking is too hard, apparently.

The failure of democracy is that they let idiots have a vote and let the billionaires control the news.

This planet is doomed and this species fucking killed it. Humans suck.
