[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children) Best way to deal with this is to have a few hours of rolling blackouts everywhere a few hours per day, especially when the sun is shining. People will get solar panels and batteries. There is no such thing as "wasted" solar. Every less gram of carbon put into the atmosphere is a win. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] blarghly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) ... are you a fucking idiot? Any government official that suggested that would immediately be fired, and any politician would never get a single vote for the rest of their lives. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 point 1 year ago* (1 child) Dont underestimate the people. There's about 30% of people that are dumb, but to vady majority understand we are amidst a climate catastrophe, and we want policy to address it permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] blarghly@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Ok, sure. Go to your city council meeting and suggest implementing rolling blackouts in the town to combat climate change. See how far you get. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Oh, those people are making decisions on behalf plutocrats, not the people. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] blarghly@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Ok, go talk to random people in the street and ask them if they are okay giving up electricity in their homes for several hours each day in the name of stopping climate change. Go ahead. I'll wait. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 point 1 year ago Ah, now were getting somewhere. Because if you explain to them why and tell them the government is going to install free solar panels on their home, most people will definitely be on board. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Yeah that’ll surely be great news for all the hospitals and people with medical devices at home. After a few dozen deaths battery sales will be through the roof! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 point 1 year ago* Its not hard to keep power on at hospitals and 911 centers and other critical facilities and blackout elsewhere. This is frequently done in poor countries. I think rich countries van figure out too... permalink fedilink source parent
