Every type of anti-environmental person seems to just have no grasp of numbers as a concept. I worked in wind for a while and one coworker was a guy taking a break from the oilfield. He really thought he had something when he was like ‘golly is that an oil based lubricant? in a supposedly green energy? hyuk hyuk looks like oil isn’t going anywhere.’[this is barely an exaggeration he was a walking caricature of a hick] Just absolutely 0 ability to perceive a difference between burning 100 gallons a day of something vs using 10 gallons a year.
Similar vibe to “you claim to be vegan and yet you eat bread, and some field mice probably got killed when harvesting the wheat to make it. Checkmate, I’ve just invalidated your entire belief. Why aren’t you ordering the steak now?”
