    I really wonder what industry y’all work in that you think the entire energy grid and vehicle fleet can be remade in 4 years.

    Don’t worry protest voters, we may be able to start from scratch again in another 4 years.

    I see Lemmy’s famous misreading is happening. I want environmental policy. But I know things take time. People that think everything can be remade in 4 years don’t know how big industry is and how much work it takes.

      Oh yeah we will just keep waiting and watch them do significantly less than the bare minimum until the famines begin to finally affect us. Then, we will do something about it I’m sure.

        Every time they run on an environmental policy, they lose. Every time they implement an environmental policy, they lose. And you’re amazed they aren’t gun ho about it? Like they just lost despite the green energy in the IRA. And Trump won with drill baby drill. Do you think Dems will run on it next time? Fuck no they won’t. They won’t touch it with 10 foot pole. They will run on “It’s the economy, stupid.” If you want environmental policy, you need to give them consistent and overwhelming victories.
