If people start smearing petrochemicals all over lemmy I'm sure you'll hear plenty of complaints about it.

    I mean, depending on the energy company you use, you might actually be doing that.

    Just because the problem isn't as visible doesn't mean it's but there. That's why climate change isn't being dealt with as it should - it's easy ignore and dismiss.

    Oh yes of course, it's the people's fault because they dismiss discussion of petrochemicals. Not the billion-dollar companies lobbying.

    You can still at least pick clean energy sources for your electricity is the point I'm making. Most don't because it's more expensive.

    Just like most people are using ChatGPT running on an H100 rather than Deepseek mini locally running on your local graphics card. You could of course also not use an LLM at all, but there's very few things they definitely excel at vs old standard search, such as trouble shooting a specific problem in Linux for example instead of dead end forums where if you're lucky you might see someone say "solved it" without an answer.

    Of course, nuance isn't most people's strong suit here.

    No, it's not. Renewables are far and away cheaper. But that doesn't change that calling it a problem on an individual level is falling for the exact propaganda corporations have been pushing since the Crying Indian commercial in 1971: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crying_Indian_public_service_announcement
