      Yeah. That’s the Republican plan in general. Drill, baby, drill. More oil, more coal, higher-cost energy, fuck liberal solar, wind, and nuclear.

      They just bury their heads in the sand about climate change and ignore the fact that solar and wind generate cheaper electricity than coal.

        Or they want to bring it about faster because more problems mean more potential for profits or the chance to be a dictator of a dome city that probably won’t be as stable as they are imagining they’ll be.

      That’s the Biden Administration’s stance too. It’s not the rhetoric they use, but now America is drilling more oil than any other country in the world. He’s walked back on climate promises he made during his campaign.

      He’ll say what he needs to to get elected, but once he’s actually in power he’s a proper capitalist.
