I'll disagree. I think climate change and global warming/cooling is real. The question is how much we contribute to it? How much are we hurting ourselves by trying to control it when so far all the measures are reported to have a negligible impact?
The US has spent taxpayer funds to support companies to produce projects like Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System which is backed by $1.5 billion in federal loans. It also may shut down since it can't meet its contract. The cost of the energy it produces is also significantly higher.
Don't get me wrong, I am for exploring and implementing solar projects, just not with taxpayer funds especially when it in turn raises the cost to consumers. There has been a lot of research lately that has produced better solar energy generation and alternatives such as the CO2 eating artificial leaf that produces energy.
Also if you look at some EPA initiatives on appliances, if you buy a new dishwasher after 2019 you could end up rinsing by hand first or running the dishwasher multiple times for clean dishes. The cost of the dishwashers is expected to increase by about $100 or more to comply with other requirements.
So, current dishwashers can use 5 gallons of water and get your dishes clean. In 2019 they can only use 3.1. How many of us will be using 6.2 gallons of water to run it twice? Or using even more to rinse first?
Idiocy.
