"universal and free electric service is the floor if we want to keep the green transition going"
(slrpnk.net)
Example: where wet bulb temperatures are the new normal, air conditioning is as vital as air and water because you will literally die without cooling. "You can buy all the electricity you can afford" is not good enough.
I think there's a translation barrier, maybe.
When I said "it doesn't matter", I meant that none of the arguments about it matter in a real way. I then explained why I don't think it matters.
English is a pain in the ass language sometimes.
In this instance, I think perhaps "the subject is moot", or "the debate is without relevance beyond conversation for the sake of conversation." would have been better.
For most Americans, you'll find that "it doesn't matter" isn't the same as "I don't care", unless they say "it doesn't matter to me". Depends on where they grew up, or where they've lived long enough to change their use of casual english, though.
Secondary to that, what I wrote was a fairly small bit. Less than most op-ed pieces in newspapers, less than most other articles too. I get that the internet, and texting, have driven down our collective patience with longer writing, but still. If it can fit on the screen of a tablet, with the paragraph breaks included, it really isn't that long.
