If you want a government with the kind of regulatory power to “put all this nonsense on hold” why not use that regulatory power to generate cleaner energy and solve the problem?

The reason we’re not using those sources right now is because of politics, not economics or technology. The solution to environmental damage caused by energy production is to use cleaner energy. Stopping people from using technology on the user level won’t do much of anything.
