Yeah, people use this same argument for why fighting climate change is a bad idea.
It’s just way too expensive to switch to renewables, or improve public transit, or use more sustainable agricultural practices, or retrofit our shipping industry, or switch to electric vehicles and transit, or ban single use plastics.
Doing those things costs too much! They simply can’t be a part of fighting climate change.
It’s the same old tired oil propaganda. Anything that isn’t fossil fuels is too expensive!
And repeating their rhetoric for the last 50 years has served wonderfully to entrench fossil fuels.
