>>13673073I'm complaining that the issue is that the zoomers and millennials are fighting the war their parents were in without bothering to choose their own generational path.
Basically the new generations will continue the failures of the previous generations.
Millennial's will support keeping coal power plants around because their parents wanted to keep them around, and their parents didn't care what source of energy was used but they only cared that they're able to coast in their jobs for a few more years to draw a pension.
That's the issue we have with these burned out teachers who should retire. In poland they're converting recently built coal plants to nuclear by swapping out the coal powered boilers with small modular reactors.
Boomers don't care who gets handed the environmental clean up mess, they just want to keep the coal power plants open long enough to draw a pension. Once they get their pensions they'll abandon coal country for some place warm like Florida.
Millennials need to realize that, but they won't so they'll fight the boomer's battle to keep the jobs around long enough to benefit boomers when in reality it's just harming the millennial's who live in coal country.
Millennial need to be pushing for something modern like what Poland is doing, but they think they have to adopt some talking points just because a party told them to do so.
