What are all the negative impacts of going green? Let's list them all here

drastically less meat

Good one!

@Ex-Pat

What is it that people here say? Something along the line of “Hard times create strong men.”

In other words, someday, you’re going to go hungry. Keep saying “we” though. I’m sure its comforting somehow.

Hey! Some people like being so malnourished that they can’t even produce enough hormones to keep from being bat ■■■■ crazy all the time.

[WuWei]

I wonder, do some people feel cows are electric?

[SixFoot]

I’ve learned that most people just don’t know much about much outside of their own personal bubble, especially when they start running their mouths.

@STODR

That is the very definition of anti-green

Well, these “green” folks are burning down green (live) forests for fuel, but since green wood has too much water to burn properly, rail ties, dirty diapers, plastics, etc., are added to the mix.

There’s nothing green about any of this. The mindless lemmings are on autopilot.

[Auto129]

Not really. Green energy was the most secure last year.

[Auto129]

Most problems can be overcome without great sacrifice and little bit of forethought.

[STODR]

That has absolutely nothing to due with what I said

I’m saying most everyone is fully aware of the negative impacts and trying to find ways to mitigate them.

You know there are also ways to mitigate CO2 emissions like carbon sequestration, algae reactor bio-tanks, planting more trees, etc. Very rarely talked about as part of the solution.

@Ex-Pat

The only real way to truly go green is to reduce, reduce, reduce. No air conditioning, no personal automobiles, drastically less meat, and way more. We did it 200 years ago and we can do it do today.

Of course no one wants to do that including myself. But we will be forced to one day. What is it that people here say? Something along the line of “Hard times create strong men.”

Let’s see those elitists who cry the loudest about this issue lead by example! Don’t hold your breath!

Regenerative agriculture could absorb 100% of “excess” carbon we pump into the atmosphere. When is the last time you heard that talked about? I think if greenies put as much energy into pushing for that as they do pushing for new laws and stuff we might actually accomplish something meaningful.

[Axxowiz]

This is something I could probably get behind. I remember over a decade ago reading a paper on how they can produce plants that absorb 4-5x the amount of carbon a regular plant does. I think it was 4-5x I think it does fall into the category your speaking of.

It’s not about saving the planet.

[Impenitent]

going on red has negative impacts too…

@Auto129

Energy security is more important than what’s already on the land.

Who says? Besides, that certainty has not been the direction coming out of the White House.

It’s about savings urban conservationists.

Looks like we may have to sacrifice many whales in going green:

Dead whales keep washing up on Jersey shore. Opponents of offshore wind farms...

She said survey boats explore the ocean floor using focused pulses of low-frequency sound in the same frequency that whales hear and communicate, which could potentially harm or disorient the animals.

In pursuit of any economic interests on the sea floor.

If something can be done about it without hampering energy security, it should be. Torturing intelligent animals into killing themselves shouldn’t be done lightly.

@Auto129

What are the issues? A less competitive use of that land will be outbid by a more competitive one. Electricity for humans is more important than the possible displacement of what’s already there.

What a Great Green attitude … Environment be damned as long as LA can charge their EVs.

Can’t charge or power anything with wind turbines falling over!
