    Diminished in the eyes of those who want your money in exchange for nothing in return?

    It's a good thing.


    Lesser man, lesser nation, lesser bill.

    lol!

    When you get elected President, then you can lead the nation to your notion of what greatness really means.

    Until that time, I'm sure we'll muddle through somehow.

    It's not like most of the older voters will have to live on this planet to feel the effects of our actions. They'll be dead and gone and only the younger and future generations will have to live with the mistakes and selfish behavior of generations past. Besides, there's money to be made so ******** where we live is nothing compared to that.

    Then now's your chance to sell what you have and get out of dodge before the sky really does fall.

    Where do you plan on moving to?

    We are taking a lesser role in many issues under Trump.

    The rest of the world refused to follow Trump's move in pulling out of the Iran deal, and pledged to uphold the deal without support from the US.

    He handed over South Korea to China by putting out US support of them.

    Handed several nations in eastern europe to Russia by refusing to help arm them against Russian aggression.

    There was nothing in the accord to force any country to do anything expect to get payouts from western nations. There is nothing stopping the US from developing practical renewables or push electric companies to upgrade the grid.

    Make something worth buying and I'll buy it.

    Your dream, your vision, your investment, your profits.
    I wish you every luck in your endeavour.

    It's not like most younger voters have put anything into this planet.
    Have any personal stake involved to lose.

    Happy and indeed keen to give away what is not theirs. When we're gone you can do what you like with our stuff.
    While we are still here? Not so much.

    Good, we need to get out of other nations affairs. Let the globalist catch up to America in technology before we start looking to them for help. Right now, I will be glad to see France and the UK try and tell China and India to stop using oil and natural gas (the cheapest and most efficient forms of fuel) while their countries grow out of the 2nd or 3rd world poverty and cant afford the over priced, more environmentally harmful, less efficient forms of producing power.

    Moving doesn't solve any problems. That's essentially the same as closing your eyes so you don't have to see you got shot in the arm.

    We should go to war with any country not going green, help spread that "renewable" energy as the US is forced to build up everyones electrical grids with solar and wind.

    Interesting to see how faked pictures are required to trigger the snowflakes who buy into the OP.

    Smartest thing the US did was to pull out of the scam the UN is pulling. Participating in a scheme requiring the largest transfer of wealth in human history would be a very stupid thing to do.

    It is the younger generations, for the most part, that are more environmentally conscious. The selfish behaviors are what they learned from their parents and grandparents generations.

    ^^Thinks man-made pollution just goes "away" not affecting anything because this is a magical world made just for us and tended by a magical power that prevents us from hurting our home.

    Lets just build up our own. Other countries are already doing it. The sun gives off from free energy everyday. It's only the infrastructure that costs money which is true of any power generation method.

    And to make the panels for those energy collecting POS, you need to mine for them, and produce them, using fossil fuels. We don't even collect enough energy from the panels to make more panels than are required to produce them. Its a net loss. We waste our fossil fuels on producing solar and wind farms. And the batteries needed to store energy for days where solar or wind aren't working, are far more of a pollutant than CO2

    20 years of indoctrination will do that to ya. You find yourself believing crap that your mom and dad who were taught how to think rather than what to think would have laughed out of the room.

    Europe is not living up to its promises, so don't make them out to be somehow nobler...

    Don't be petty now. There's still time for you to change your ways and start encouraging others to take care of the only home they'll ever know. Or you can believe we can do whatever we want to the environment without effect like so many others seem to. But the latter is a pretty good example of not being taught how to think, in this case, about the consequences of our actions.
