Really? So you think cost is not a factor in determining the viability of a solution?
Thank you, it does.
Not always. Im not saying it doesnt factor in but ive workes at two places where they just throw money at a problem.
The only good reasons to throw money at a problem is to save time (which usually equates to money) or if failure to solve a problem is not an option (such as a life threatening emergency or a war.). But those kinds of instances are by far the exception and neither is applicable to the subject matter of this thread.
One would expect that the next US President will see that action on climate change is a national emergency.
It would be a National emergency if he shut down all fossil fuel generators and tried to replace it with renewable power. But as it stands, there is no emergency so it would be really stupid to do that.
Your presumption that the next president of the USA will be male is very illuminating.
Nope…wrong again
No it’s not. It’s a figure of speech.
You’re starting to post like Mobulis.

To add to this, yes, CO2 can be beneficial to plant growth, but it’s not generally the limiting factor, particularly in the natural environment. Here’s a good article:
What always kills me about this argument is that deniers accept the positive effects of CO2 to increased biomass that is supported by science, yet discount the negative effects of CO2 to increased loading in our atmosphere, also supported by science.

wind power generation has increased over 30% in the US since i first started this thread in early 2019.
from less than 300 terrawatt hours generated in 2019 to more than 400 terrawatt hours in 2022.
but dont let the facts get in your way.

Here’s a fact for you … total US production of electricity in 2022 was 4,243 terrawatts.
What percent of that was from wind power? (You do the math.)

That reminds me of a line from an Ogden Nash poem …
“'Tis the rustling of the leaves that causes the wind.”
