Synopsis

Read how the typical TESLA electric vehicle driver is more affluent than the average citizen and consumes considerably more carbon to live their comfortable lives at their first or second home with their private clubs, take-out food, household staff, extensive vacations, etc. The vow of poverty to immediately aid our environment is not in the cards for these carbon pigs, or for the rest of us for that matter. Most of us fall short between our personal consumption habits and our public persona expressing concern for our environment. Read how amazon prime is unsustainable at any speed of delivery as other delivery options, albeit slower, are already in your neighborhood. Read about various strategies of solar, wind, hydrogen, fusion, efuels, and others to ameliorate our stress on the environment living our comfortable and consumptive lifestyles which include cell phones, laptops, and social media. We should do whatever we can for the environment provided it does not raise the cost of living for the poor. They should not bear the brunt of greenwashing the environmental conscience of our betters, those with a higher net worth and/or higher education degree than the rest of us. Eliminating the United States' economy from the world's ecosystem, would have a negligible impact on preventing the rise in average global temperature of 1.5 degrees Celsius proposed by the Paris Climate Accord by the year 2100, yet the United States is imperative for the liberal democratic project of expanding the Rule of Law to more of our brother and sister citizens around the globe versus Rule of Man totalitarian regimes like China and Russia, who care not for international rules and norms of conduct. You decide.
