In general, the problem with that narrative is that Trump was openly promising to act in ways which were guaranteed (and in fact have) raise prices and take away healthcare from people, while transferring money from the pockets of the less wealthy into those of billionaires. The US also had a better economic recovery than most other developed nations.

While it is in fact important to run government in ways which help people, a lot of what was going on was using economic concerns as a socially acceptable excuse for racism.

You need watershed-level forecasts for flash floods, like a list of huc12s that will be impacted

No. But its important to make the improvement in cost and peoples lives that can come with well-done decarbonization tangible for people

The point of the false accusations was to normalize malicious prosecution and create Republican support for doing it.

Her definition — making electricity cheap by taking advantage of the way wind and solar are now cheaper than fossil fuels, doesn’t seem like “further left”

We’re going to need to hold power first — and that likely means a meaningful restructuring of the US government.

People being threatened while experiencing some sort of mental health crisis don’t do that. Cops need to not just shout orders and threaten people, but actively deescalate to prevent unnecessary shootings.

There is a long history of most police killings being situations where officers could have deescalated but chose to shoot, or being mistaken about the presence of a gun other than their own.

The plan has always been to deport huge numbers of US citizens who aren’t white enough for Vance & Miller

I care about the consequences of financing the fossil fuels industry. Having the banks stop would limit extraction and burning.

The non-release is creating a pool of people who no longer trust Trump. That helps

CAISO has real-time data, but electricity imported from out of state does not have real-time analysis.

I think the plan is electric scooters and motorcycles. They work really well with battery swap stations, since the batteries are small enough for a person to pick up and stick in a charging station.

Making it hard to learn the details is one of many actions they’re taking. People in general are really confused about what is needed, which makes meaningful action harder.

Yes but it’s a lot harder for people to find, which means that essentially nobody will every look at it.

We may well have locked in meaningful change, but that doesn’t mean the fight is over: the bulk of fossil fuels are still in the ground.

Or…people who might actually change policy as they act.

The Republican dream

You’re assuming that the world is covered in server racks. I don’t expect anything like that, even with significant increases in datacenter construction.

Let’s assume 1kw per person. 10 billion people at peak population some time hence. So about 150 billion m² to provide 1kw per person 24/7. The earth’s surface area is 510.1 trillion m², of which about 1/3 is land. So we’re probably just fine on renewables.

Nah. They bought off the feds, so they’ve got years to go. Also, it’s a lot more profitable for shareholders to find a greater fool to sell to than it is to exit the business.
