we’ve wasted a decade propping up fossil fuels and squandering our leads in evs (say what you will, tesla solved the ‘electric cars aren’t good’ problem, before going to shit) and in solar and wind and now, we’re gonna double-down on the idiot path because the country let enough gerrymandering and fuckery and apathy lose to the idiot who’s cankles are about to pop.
