Tell me your state legislature is a house of morans without telling me. :disgust:
If they like it so much, lock them in an airtight room with 100% CO2 inside with them...

The film, "Don't Look Up" didn't even come close to encapsulating this level of dumb stupidity.

Ski resorts and other businesses dependent on climate need to get together and start suing the government on a massive scale.

Got back from the snow and cold temps of Texas to this. It was driving rain and crazy winds all day today. The trails look like this pretty much, either totally bare or a layer of ice. All snow is gone. We haven't gotten any significant snow for a few months now and it's been above freezing most of the time.

So, I guess the Mayor of LA was to blame.
I was reading this yesterday.

"Commentators wasted no time trying to find a villain. Was it Mayor Karen Bass, who had left the city for Ghana before the fires began? Doubtful. What about budget cuts to the Los Angeles Fire Department? In fact, its budget recently grew by $50 million. Was it a 2022 donation of firefighter boots and helmets to Ukraine? Water is in short supply, not uniforms.

The real story of the wildfires isn’t about malice or incompetence. It’s about well-intentioned policies with unintended consequences.

Take insurance—a trillion-dollar industry built to identify risks, particularly from disasters such as wildfires. Insurance companies communicate this risk to homeowners through higher premiums, providing them with useful information and incentives. People may think twice about moving to a fire-prone area if they see the danger reflected in a fee."

As usual, there's no single "silver bullet" that's easy to explain and point to... wouldn't it be nice if things were that simple?! sigh.

Huh. I guess My very MAGA “neighbor” seems about to get his face eaten by the leopard. He has a partnership with a few other local folks that gets this funding and builds charging stations. They have been struggling to get it off the ground bc of all the red tape. (Spending & investing a lot only to have trouble getting final inspection approvals…)

He was pretty convinced that DJ2S would eliminate all that…I don’t think this is what he had in mind…

A person would have to be Brian levels of catastrophically fucking stupid to think that a trump presidency was going to help his green energy business. Fuck em.
