Smart piece in the NY Times about the future of the American power grid, which is "being determined in town halls, county courthouses and community buildings across the country." The energy transition will happen only as fast as clean energy projects can actually get built:

@elizkolbert this is why #federalism is BAD
Allowing #Earth's fate to be decided in myriad little localities filled w/ NIMBY's, #science deniers, #ConspiracyTheory / #Misinformation peddlers & idiots is only recipe for disaster
Don't want your view "ruined" by wind farms? Check yourself & your shallow, malignant #narcissism, you should be stripped of all #voting rights
#Democracy definitely has its limits regarding #ClimateEmergency
#Nationalize all #farm lands, #resouces are too important
