Congressional Rs are poised🚨to reverse course on US energy policy by wiping out 100s of $Bs in incentives for solar & wind projects -& for consumers seeking to purchase everything from energy-saving appliances to EVs.

“They’re proposing an outright massacre with punishing new taxes on these industries,” -Sen Wyden. He said Rs added what amounts to a “death sentence” for green energy, with provisions added before voting was expected to start in the Senate.

I often check videos of flood & tornado damage on youtube. Comments show a large # of people are unwarnable, for lack of a better term. Poor development planning & climate change don't exist for them, it's all Goddidit.

@Nazani @samiamsam @KimPerales good. Let them drown or otherwise suffer. I no longer care.

@csgraves @samiamsam @KimPerales I'm gradually reaching that point. Sometimes I care more about the environmental impacts of climate change than what happens to people.

@Nazani @samiamsam @KimPerales Same, but I am really trying to not let my anger guide me fully, nor allow me to dehumanize people. I want to see better for all people, including the non human people like our feathered, finned, and crawling relatives, our tree and water relatives.

This earth is beautiful and her people diverse and amazing!

Let us again be people of earth and not interchangeable economic units.
