We haven’t even made it to January 20 (Trump inauguration). We already have major fires in our second largest city, terrorist attacks, talk of invading Greenland/Panama/Canada. almost no one talking about what we really need to do to cut carbon. Hospitals are full in my area and people talk about washing hands, but not about masking. I am already so weary. I don’t know what is going to happen after January 21.
Carbon has never been a winning election issue. If anyone cared they would know that Harris would have carried on Biden’s green energy. But it was the price of eggs and “it’s the economy stupid” that won the election. No one will touch it in the next election either because the Dems learned all that matters is the economy. Do the math, in 4 years it won’t be touched, then another 8 year cycle, means the soonest it may be run on is in 12 years. If Dems win they will focus on fixing everything from trump first, all you’ll get is some stuff around the edges. (Inb4 Lemmy’s famous misreading, I want it, but I know that no one will touch it because it loses them every election.)
