It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

He's also right that

“While renewable energy is essential to help the world achieve net zero, it is not sufficient"

Unfortunately, his preferred option of carbon capture and sequestration is about as realistic at this point as waiting for angels to descend from heaven and transmute all the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere into diamonds. It is a science fiction technology that is not even close to ready for mass deployment, and may not even be physically possible at the scale we'd need. A combination of aggressive transition away from fossil fuels and aggressive degrowth and restrictive supply-side policies that forcibly shut down the fossil fuel industry is literally the only option at this point. Nothing else is going to get the job done in time.
