How do you know that?
I mean, you might be right, but I have so far not given it much tought or looked into it. You seem to have done so, so how do you know it?

FAQ 2: oil and gas, poverty and economic development

FAQs on how oil and gas relate to poverty and economic development.

Also no currently developed country achieved such status with wind or solar. Renewables are great and helpful but no one will build an economy on them alone

I have learned through my observation of leftists that they are self absorbed dupes with absolutely no self awareness.

Instead, you should learn that some leftists
are intelligent, learned, & worthy of conversation.
To insult & dismiss them all deprives you of
their perspective.

I have run across very few leftist worthy of conversation. To be deprived of their over inflated sense of self righteousness is to be enriched behind measure.

Tell what there is to respect and take seriously about what leftists say?

From your link:
"
Are oil and gas necessary for economic development?
Oil and gas have helped make some countries rich in the past, but they are not a precondition for economic development in the future. Oil and gas can impact economic development in both positive and negative ways, directly or indirectly. As energy systems can take time to respond to technological change, oil and gas will play a role in the near term. But the availability and lower cost of renewable energy make the development of economies dependent on oil and gas in the medium and longer term unlikely."

This is 2024 not 1974 and we do have a greenhouse gas problem.

Thanks for the info but no one is arguing cost. C- for relevance

 

[Revoltingest]

Consider that this problem lies not with them.

 

[Revoltingest]

And a hand saw is cheaper than a circular saw. Its cheaper because it's less efficient.

No. It's cheaper because it's less costly to produce.
Although some really good ones are very spendy.

And therein lies their unworthiness for conversations

 

[Ignatius A]

No. It's cheaper because it's less costly to produce.
Although some really good ones are very spendy.

And ultimately still less efficient which is why they are cheaper to produce.

That's dumb.
They're not cheaper just because they're less efficient.
Moreover, they're not always less efficient. When I
travel, I carry 1 electric circular saw. But I carry several
hand saws. For fine work, limited access, & quick short
jobs, a hand saw can't be beat.

Yes lower cost and less efficient

Oh course they are.

Can you expand on that. What is with lower cost and less efficinet? And can you yourself qoute from the link to back up your claim?

What can't you comprehend? You said hand saws are cheaper because they are cheaper to produce than circular saw not because they are less efficient than circular saws. You brought this up not me

I said nothing about hand saws, that was @Revoltingest

I like talking about hand saws.
I use western saws, Japanese saws,
veneer saws, buck saws, pruning saws,
hack saws, coping saws, etc, etc.

Yeah and I were a part in a part about energy.

Yes. Communist policies. Give people choices and prices drop. No need for govt interference.

Bull. Laissez-faire capitalism is no longer followed by any country in the world because it is too unstable, thus all countries nowadays are mixed economies of one type or another.

You don't want to sound like Brandon, the kamal or the tampono

Name-calling-- heck probably all the others here outgrew that decades ago.
