    To be brutally honest, this is fucking peanuts. A jobs training program for a measly 20k people, with nothing to indicate any steps against corporations that are actually responsible for climate change. This should be a slap in the face after (as the article even points out) Biden opened more federal land for drilling.

    We need the energy industry to be taken in to public ownership, with direct accountability to the people (not corporate parties), significant investment into climate stabilization and climate change resistant infrastructure, and have workers (who by and large do not want to burn the planet to the ground) take more control over their workplaces. Biden wouldn’t dare threaten corporate profits, so we’re never going to see anything significant from him.
