There are enormous geopolitical, economic and climate ramifications to the U.S. abandoning leadership on the energy transition. If you live in America, basically none of them are good.

    I’d much prefer to see the US split up into separate states, then form a union much like the EU instead of the monolithic eldritch crap they have right now.

      That’s sort of what we have now? A federal government that is made up of a union of states…

      What we really need is to fix Congress and restore their power.

      Republicans have been shifting power from Congress to the executive and judicial branches for the last 50 years. All because they want a king.

      Fixing Congress would take a single bill. Namely H.R. 4125, the Equal Voices Act.

      Well, that’s the first step. There are more, but H.R. 4125 would be like 70% of it.
