do you use one of these banks?

[uh-oh]

youre just misunderstanding me

i never said it was impossible, i was saying its a giant investment, meaning its very far from cheap switching to it. our entire infrastructure is built to burn fossil fuels. its cheaper to just keep this going how it is, because of how much of an undertaking it is to change it all.

when i'm talking innovations i mean affordable realistic things that the common person can do. a tesla is relatively affordable for example. its becoming affordable to switch to a completely renewable system in your own home. you can't act like its always been this way, with all technologies shit is stupid expensive as they come out, until those technologies get streamlined and are able to be put out cheaper and still make a profit

because thats what its about. when these renewable energy guys can make everything for prices that can compete with big oil, and make it more convenient to switch, people will. unless of course they are restricted

like im pretty sure i heard 3rd hand on a podcast about a comedian setting up his house with all solar, but he still is legally required to be hooked to the regular electrical grid

that type of shit is retarded, we can agree there.

but yea i'm basically just talking about making the change make sense to the common person. and also the person making the stuff. if i own a company that makes solar panels and it costs me 100 dollars to make one, i can't sell it for 101 dollars. i got employees, i got the building i got expenses blah blah blah. its not at a place where a company can make money and make these things so that people can buy them.

thats why they try to legislate it, because in the actual business world it doesnt make sense. normal people ain't gonna buy it. but if they can get the government to pay for it they can do it.
