Leftists are fantasy driven. They create elaborate fantasies and then force everyone else to argue for reality against the fantasies.
The leftist fantasy argument that annoys me most is the fantasy of “alternative energy.”
It has no tradeoffs whatsoever.
Even more annoying, alternative-energy advocates feel entitled to paper over any obvious shortcomings of their favored technology by evoking future technological breakthroughs, but they won’t let you postulate future technological breakthroughs that would make non-alternative energy even more attractive.
if you point out that nuclear technology currently in development could create nuclear power systems that would completely recycle their waste, they will respond that we shouldn’t make any plans for nuclear power unless we have absolutely proven that the technology works. (Oh, and let’s cut funding for the research that would prove it works.)
Two can play this game. My dwarf can take their elf any day.
