Oh, I get it. You were referring to the government as not giving a flying fuck about future generations. Then spot on.

it's a radical move and i'm not sure i am on board with it myself but there is no destruction here. You can't build all that infrastructure without a lot of hiring going along with it.

Cold kills. Living in a continuously cold house can kill when you can't afford to heat it up enough. This will become the case more and more as electricity costs rise if they go through with this plan.
This, from the UK where it doesn't get nearly as cold as here but there is already many in energy poverty:
Winter death toll 'to exceed 40,000'
Quote:
Professor Dame Sally Davies, the Department of Health’s chief medical officer, said severe weather could “substantially add to the average winter death toll.”
She wrote in Public Health England’s Cold Weather Plan for England 2014-15: “Excess deaths are not just deaths of those who would have died anyway in the next few weeks or months due to illness or old age.
“There is strong evidence some of these deaths are indeed “extra” and are related to cold temperatures, living in cold homes as well as infectious diseases such as influenza.”

And yes there is destruction. There is financial destruction and economic destruction as companies can no longer afford to operate here and move out.
