    Ok so you’re a communist

    Wrong again. Unlike you, I’m no fan of authoritarianism.

    you think people should give you stuff free

    Nope

    deny them the means of production

    Wrong again.

    Don’t you ever get tired of trotting out your ridiculous army of strawmen?

      @Viking_Hippie You’re no fan of authoritarianism yet you want authority over others access to energy and goods. And you want to deny people access to reliable affordable energy which is necessary to the production of damned near everything.

        Correct.

        yet you want authority over others access to energy and goods

        Incorrect.

        And you want to deny people access to reliable affordable energy

        Literally the opposite of what I’m advocating.

        which is necessary to the production of damned near everything.

        Fossil fuels? Nope. There’s literally no fossil fuel product or process that doesn’t have alternatives.

        The only reasons why fossil fuels haven’t been COMPLETELY phased out DECADES ago are billionaires and their conglomerates bribing politicians and buying media to spread disinformation and useful idiots like yourself helping for free.

          @Viking_Hippie Sure there are alternatives but nothing can be put in place overnight and the capacity should be there before you should down fossil fuel plants. Also the only real reliable alternatives that can be scaled are nuclear fission and geo-thermal, and geo-thermal is only available in some geographical regions, although in the US you could build enough capacity in yellow-stone to supply the entire country, the same namby-pambys that are panic’ing over carbon dioxide don’t want to risk diminishing the geysers. And most of them are also opposed to nukes.
