45.00% - We don't have batteries to store a week of grid power or solar that works in a Minnesota winter — we're nowhere near ready to bet the entire economy on wind and sun.
22.50% - Humanity survived the Medieval Warm Period, the Black Death, two World Wars, and dozens of catastrophes — we adapt better than any other species.
20.00% - Wind and solar go dark when conditions change — reliable baseload power is what a modern economy is built on; ask Texas in February 2021.
12.50% - Eliminating fossil fuels by 2035 would wipe out 8 million energy jobs, send utility bills through the roof, and crush a manufacturing base we haven't started to rebuild.
Aggressive climate policy will inflict serious economic damage before meaningfully affecting global temperatures.
33.33% - Human influenced climate change is an observable fact.
18.33% - Open the regulatory pathway for advanced nuclear, geothermal, and carbon capture — stop blocking innovation with permitting delays that stretch to decades.
9.17% - Reducing waste at the source beats sorting contaminated mixed streams after the fact — recycling manages the symptom, source reduction treats the disease.
9.17% - Wherever government takes over — healthcare, education, housing — costs rise and quality stagnates; the pattern is consistent enough to be a law of nature.
7.50% - Fossil fuels are the greatest contributors to climate change.
7.50% - Accepting glass, wet cardboard, and mixed plastics together guarantees contamination that renders the whole batch landfill-bound — these programs are structured to fail.
7.50% - Fossil fuels need to be left in the ground to as great of an extent as possible.
7.50% - Government can't be fired for wasting money and has no incentive to innovate — that's why every government project runs over budget and underperforms.
28.27% - We don't have batteries to store a week of grid power or solar that works in a Minnesota winter — we're nowhere near ready to bet the entire economy on wind and sun.
13.79% - Wind and solar go dark when conditions change — reliable baseload power is what a modern economy is built on; ask Texas in February 2021.

11.84% - Humanity survived the Medieval Warm Period, the Black Death, two World Wars, and dozens of catastrophes — we adapt better than any other species.
8.62% - Climate change is a hoax perpetuated by academics chasing grant money, politicians chasing control, and corporations chasing subsidies. Real science doesn't silence debate — climate science does.
33.33% - Aggressive climate policy will inflict serious economic damage before meaningfully affecting global temperatures.
33.33% - We will destroy the economy well before we come anywhere close to reversing global warming.
33.33% - Aggressive climate policy will damage the economy substantially before meaningfully affecting global temperatures.
