    The government's interest is protecting it's own system. If their has to be loss in profits for oil companies than so be it. Also you're implying that the first to go off Diesel would be the supply line when obviously not. It would be power grids, the army then consumer cars than the supply chain. Do you think that any one with a functioning brain would try to make the supply lines go green first? You're just doing a strawman.

    You would be right. If the government were to never get involved. "It'll take decades for the whole country to prepare for nuclear fallout" "It'll take decades for the country to protect itself from HIV" etc. etc. Every public health crisis needs to the government to get involved and mediate, that's what civilization has been since the time of the Greeks.

    Incredible move. But I doubt it'll last. Reddit is going to became 9gag and iFunny very soon. Rest in peace old reddit. It was fun while it lasted.
