[REAL NEWS] Annoying Orange signs cutback on carbon regulations

[Magus]

Why increase coal when we already have moved to those cleaner energies, which not only are cleaner, but also produce more jobs than coal currently is?

I think we should make a joint effort to stop responding to Corderlain from this point on

we're kinda wasting our time trying to convince a brick wall. he knows he's wrong and he keeps feigning ignorance in order to get more responses. responding to him is just giving him what he wants

he remains vague and non-specific about everything until you call him out on it, at which point he turns the blame on you and makes it seem like you're trying to troll him. just stop talking to him

[Corderlain]

... you mean the cleaner energies we already use and have been using...

That aren't capable of sustaining us now, yes.

I'm sitting in my dorm right now and chatting with my roommate in-between messages. I am not angry or upset - just in disbelief that you're being so dense about this.

Like, you do realize how this conversation is going right? You haven't given a single study, statistic, historical event, or anything. Your continued support of coal basically just boils down to, "*shrug*, nothing bad will happen, trust me."
A temporary measure for what? What is the intended purpose of increasing our coal usage?

Never really said I supported coal. Just dont think the world is gonna end over it.

I'm all for more jobs in clean energy, but it's not at a level to support our nation currently.

jesus christ, he reproduced?

yeah and im pretty sure he said if any of them were crippled he would leave them to die lmao

[Corderlain]

Some of you are really good at putting words in people's mouthes.

Lots of terrible stuff can cause problems without completely destroying the world. The only issue I can think of that causes a direct risk of destroying the planet is nuclear-proliferation (which Annoying Orange is strongly in favor of, btw).

This argument can be used against basically anything. Why not just ban all guns? World won't end over it. Why not raise the minimum wage to $75/hr? World will still be here. etc. Total global catastrophe shouldn't be the meter stick we're using here.

[Corderlain]

Not the point I was making.

[Magus]

Nuclear annihilation won't destroy the planet, we're fine. Unless Annoying Orange funds a Death Star.

[Darryl McKoy]

You should just stop trying to make points, you're evidently terrible at it.

probably because we're currently busy sucking fossil fuel giants' roosters

[Planr]

Even that's not enough. Coal mining and working inside of the coal plants themselves carry massive health risks.

Well let's hope they pay well. I do know that oil rig jobs (6 months on the rig, 6 months on land) pay extremely well, like 120 grand a year.

Nuclear annihilation won't destroy the planet, we're fine. Unless Annoying Orange funds a Death Star.

I want a death star tho. Or at least just a giant space station.

[Magus]

Or at least just a giant space station.

I think we can agree on that.

[IkeTheGeneric]

I want a death star tho. Or at least just a giant space station.

The latter would be better, less incentive for wannabe space heroes from blowin up your stuff if it doesn't have "Death" in the name

[Magus]

We could call it the Peace Moon.
