Resolving the Dissonance Regarding Fossil Fuels

Fossil fuels are destroying our planet. Big oil is evil. Coal is an addiction. These are hyperbolic statements uttered without basis in the public square as we continue with lifestyles dependent on hydrocarbons and their derivatives.

This dissonance exists cognitively in individuals whose choices are inconsistent with their thinking. Another dissonance manifests itself as elites who are wedded to an apocalyptic climate vision fearmongering to people who are just fine with their “high-carbon lives.”

Whatever one thinks about hydrocarbons, nobody can deny the sheer ubiquity of the things produced through their use as an energy source or feedstock.

There can be no "reaching across the gap" to the "other side" with logic or reasoning.

Sooner or later, they must see the obvious and come to terms with it by themselves.

In the meantime, they had best be ignored no matter how loudly they wail and scream...

Maybe we need to reserve fossil fuels only for those who support it and let those who oppose their use just do without.

I'd like to see the solar panels or windmill turbines built solely by renewable-sourced energy.
