it's insane that so many flyover states are competing (and winning) against fucking California

edit: by winning, i meant having more carbon emissions, not doing better. dumb wording.

California has huge tracts of land that get sunshine like 365 days per year.

so Nevada doesn't get much sunshine?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Nevada spent all their sunshine on hookers and blow.

Makes sense when you realize 12% of Americans live in CA, vs somewhere like WY where 0.17% of Americans live.

what i meant was there producing more carbon emissions. you would expect more populous areas to produce more carbon emissions

Why did you cut off Maine?

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What a lousy comparison.

Right above the US are much greener provinces which also aren't individual countries.
