Personal action is fine, but we really need governments and corporations to be forced to change and adopt measures aimed at reducing carbon emissions and so forth.

Dems recently passed a bill that gives $350 billion for climate action, the larger dollar amount spent in the US ok climate action. The money is to pay for increases in green energy such as solar, wind, battery, hydrogen, etc. Essentially giving money to subsidize and increase development and manufacturing of green energy, both existing renewables for consumers, and for future development and technological breakthrough.

So definitely keep voting for Dems. Technological breakthrough is really what we need to be banking on and Dems look to be the only ones interested in funding and mobilizing that.

At the individual level, would probably be good to focus at the local level. Support safe bike lanes, less driving, etc. Support pushes to increase housing density, etc.

Big turn around from leaving the Paris Agreement with the previous administration. If anyone says it doesn't matter which party is in power, tell them to fuck off.

Beyond voting for the party that actually acknowledges climate change being an issue to begin with, there's also deliberately choosing companies that implement green energy over those that don't. Also, individual choices over time, like getting protein from sources other than meat more often, can make a big difference in the context of a larger social trend.

We is the operative word here. It'll take collective rather than individual action. Voting is just one small part, but it won't do a lot without a huge mass movement because otherwise politicians won't perceive it as in their self interest to change anything. Voting for 66 Joe Manchins would not fix anything. Getting 60 people pressured into being Ed Markeys is orders of magnitude better.

Other than stuff like consuming less beef, we're not gonna consumer choice our way out of this.

Shift to nuclear power and WPT

Power lines already run along pretty much every road, surely it wouldn't be that difficult to convert them to run everything. Would probably need to harden them against weather and shit, though.

Electric cars running on wpt shouldn't need batteries, right? Which would eliminate the biggest drawback of current EVs.

Maybe this wouldn't work, maybe I've read too much scifi...but I want it to work, dammit.

What's WPT?

Regarding power lines though, we actually need a lot more transmission lines in the US for all the new energy we have in the pipeline. It is very hard to build them mainly due to unnecessarily difficult processes that makes it hard to permit them.

For regular people? Not a lot. The onus of climate change was dropped on us for decades(drive less, recycle, etc) but the simple fact is you can take an entire town of day to day life and you wouldn't scratch that surface of what a big corporation pumps out.

So, we eat shit to justify the profits of people who couldn't care less about us, as we all hold hands and walk in to hellfire together.

While valid, and I actually tried this once for a while, the simple fact is... Society won't change quickly enough for it to matter. I could, you could, we could even convince others for a while but the simple fact is we'll never have the power to convince people faster than a corporation can sling ad campaigns for the next big thing.

Air cleaning measures and reducing the carbon being pumped out is all we got for an answer right now that is anywhere near practical.
