Please know that Maya Angelou is trending nationally because there are some young folks who are offended that she directed a young woman to call her Ms. Angelou instead of Maya in a 20-year-old clip.

What they do when find out nuclear is the non-greenhouse energy source par excellence? (that those 3 famous disasters over 50 years killed next to 0 people -a lot less than North sea oil rigs, Mideast wars, and prolly solar panels on roofs and windmills out in the bay).

And fracking for the meanwhile takes away our dependence on Russia and Saudi Arabia - I.e. still buying precious time (vs the 3 years wasted discussing Brexit or othwr huge distractions).

Don't grok the paragraph - aren't we supposed to be lowering our carbon footprint - much faster rather than slower - instead of what, crawling in a cave and kissing our ass goodbye? are we supposed to be too depressed & disappointed to work on solutions to global warming, or is shutting off the planet the only intelligent response?

In reply to lol. that was a fine read

If the Editorial Board is indeed speaking for Jeff Bezos--which I don't necessarily believe--it would be a good thing that he is speaking about his preferences to the public and they might even read it and voice an opinion to their representatives, no? Rather than all of this being decided by the Davos crowd behind closed doors. That is all I was trying to say: Ocasio Cortez did good creating the buzz, the kids at Diane Feinstein's office did good, Diane Feinstein did good in response, it's all good this is happening. Instead of focusing on what Trump tweeted today or how Amy Klobuchar eats salad.

i won't take the time to check in two actual socialists in ocasio's district to show the many ways she steps not only on her own #GreenNewDeal brand, but on her original 'bartender too poor to afford rent in DeeCee and more, but that's my point: once established and epically lauded early, that brand becomes reified, and brooks no counterfactuals, i.e.: folks won't 'believe their lyin' eyes'.

a place where i cross-post is now adamant about tulsi gabbard as 'the peace candidate'. "peace for whom?" i ask, but every thing even on her own website is rationalized away.

as to your paragraph on EV's: do remember, please, that the IPCG report (low-balled, many climate scientists note) says: this is a climate emergency! as in: there IS no later on. and buying EV's is Green Capitalism 101. 'let's shop our way out of climate chaos doom!' ah well, gotta scoot. thanks for playing.

lol. that was a fine read indeed, artappraiser. does jeff bezos own fracking stock? i actually did check, but not as i can tell.

my favorite line was: "Another criticism is that carbon pricing hurts the poor, who would suffer most when prices rose. But the revenue from carbon pricing could be recycled back to Americans in a progressive way, and most people would end up whole or better off."

but jaysus, fracked gas is a disaster for the ecosystem. not only from the list of toxic chemicals (including heavy metals) pumped diagonally into the shale, but the grotesque amounts of water required for each hole. and of course the concrete sleeves in the holes leak, but ground water contamination is epic. in a nearby county folks with their own water wells can turn on their taps and light the water on fire, seriously. additionally, there is mounting evidence that fracking causes small earthquakes.

gas near coal beds contains those pesky methane clathrates, and those feedback loops are disastrous, though the emissions lessen over time, iirc.

one thing i do agree with, though, is not to tie social-engineering to a plan (or pretend to, at any rate).
