Nous avons commencé à entendre parler de transition des énergies autour de l'an 2000. Une société normalement lucide aurait dès lors tenu compte des avis scientifiques pour prévenir à l'évidence des catastrophes à venir.
No, it's there in the post: a matter of our emotional/habitual/social/cultural attachment to the world that oil has made. It runs so deep it's hard to imagine living without it.
Ça peut ressembler à quelque chose comme perdre une partie se soi. Avez-vous vu ces videos du loup pris au piège qui ronge sa patte pour se libérer. Ou encore le parent qui enterre son enfant mort sous les décombres d'un bombardement?
What do we get? We are assured of having clean water to drink. Our children will have clean water to drink. Their children will have clean water to drink. Forever. Clean water is life itself. Enbridge does not have the right to hold 20% of the world’s clean water hostage to its whims of making money so the rich can get wealthier.
"The question is, what do we gain from shutting the pipeline down, from releasing ourselves from oil’s sticky grip?" The future of petromania is civilizational extinction, other than that, it's fun.
Folks, shutting down Line 5 will have minimal if any effects on Michiganders. Most of the oil goes to Sarnia, Ontario to be refined and service eastern Canada.
There are viable alternatives to the propane market.
The Straits of Mackinac belong to the people of Michigan and we should never allow a corporation, who averages one environmental violation every three months for the last twenty-five years, anywhere near the Great Lakes.
Canada needs to go around the lakes.
You can move a pipeline. You cannot move the Great Lakes.
Intellectually, I understand why people are afraid of a world without “modern conveniences.” In my heart, I have little sympathy for them.
What do we get without fossil fuels? We get to live. We get a planet rich with life and maybe someday without plastic. We get to grow our own food and learn to connect and support each other in ways we've forgotten. We get to walk instead of drive. If we need to go farther, we get to help each other get there. We get a completely different way of life. There will be difficulties and there will be advantages. Humans are known for their ability to adapt. Let's adapt already. It's better to adapt than to destroy ecosystems that took millions of years to develop.
I have extreme views. I don't apologize.
I believe our corporations are led by monsters. Only monsters would have pushed us into destabilizing Earth's ecosystems to the point of threatening the earth's ability to sustain life.
There were alternatives. The corporations blocked them. Corporations, motivated by greed, demand absolute power and eschew responsibility. We have been very stupid for very long time to let them rule us. Either we stop them or we consign the majority of life on earth to death.
During wars people were willing to make sacrifices for the Common Good. We now have a climate crisis and a world-wide water crisis but there has been so much disinformation directed at the American people that it is hard to get people involved which is so unfortunate because we could lose everything.

Yes, and that's the point here: it's not really a matter of the science.
A matter of what money?
