As I see the devastation caused by hurricane Helene I can't help but remember that no country on earth is doing more to intentionally slow progress on the shift to renewables than the United States.🤡

Intentionally. Slow.

Because to us, the problem is that the solar cells are being made by Chinese billionaires instead of by American billionaires, and the EVs are being sold by Chinese billionaires instead of American billionaires. If we can't win, your planet can burn.

We are good people.

Shout out to everyone that's going to read what I said, and interpret it as that I don't love my country enough. 🙂🙃

They will literally interpret my not wanting Cat 4 and Cat 5 hurricanes to hit the Southeast every year for the next 50 years, as the "anti-American" take, and interpret my wanting US to do common sense things to keep warming under 3 degrees as "unpatriotic."

My life does not improve if we "protect" the US EV market for Cybertrucks that no one wants. At all.

if you can't criticise your country and don't want the lives of people to improve, you don't love your country you just love the status quo and the people in power.

@mekkaokereke @Yuvalne IMHO, you may love the biomass on your country unconditionally (patriotism), and/or the way the State rules it (nationalism). Many confused French activists are pressuring people to vote (through questionable means) in the kind of desperate hope they could be compatible.
