Because if it’s all a hoax, then it’s a bad investment. Why would you be willing to lose money when the hoax is confirmed. Better yet, why don’t you put all your money and short all the clean energy stocks (at least the 95% associated with global warming).
[QOUTE=I dont see anything catastrophically damaging to the environment with going in a direction that uses less fossil fuels.[/QOUTE]
It’s all a hoax remember, then why would you even care about fossil fuels at all, much less “going in a direction that uses less fossil fuels.” Use of fossil fuels should be completely irrelevant if your premise is that it’s a hoax. You can’t keep your story straight.
[QOUTE=There are issues with strip mining for elements required in the type of batteries needed, as well as disposal and toxicity issues, but I dont see these issues as something I would take some kind of political, financial, or moral stand against, yet.[/QUOTE]
A successful "hoax" would not always be a "bad investment", especially if government policy backs it up.
Did you miss something?
I was pretty clear.
