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.

Shout out to the drama queens that want to pretend that it would be hard to accelerate the shift to solar. It wouldn't be. We're literally putting the brakes on it because it's happening "too fast." We're cutting subsidies because they're working too well.

What are we doing? True clown behavior.

Ask people being rescued from Helene if the switch to solar is happening too fast.

"American ingenuity" spent most of the past 10 years investing in monkey jpegs (NFTs) and giant EVs that no one can afford. China invested in, solar cells, battery tech, trains and buses, and affordable EV cars.

I don't know how to tell you this, but our US national capital allocation strategy of "Give most of our innovation budget to anti-democratic, racist, sexist, alt-right guys" doesn't seem to be working out for us.

We pair that with our "throw cans of soup" activism. Silly.

"It's not that simple to change."

Yes it is. You just wake up one day and do better.

"It's more complicated than you make it sound."

No it's not.

"It's important for US industry to thrive. You can't ignore that."

This one cracks me up. US companies are about to get absolutely cooked in giant industries that matter: Car sales, power generation, battery tech. The green path makes *more* than the "Protect NFT billionaires that hate US democracy anyway" path. QED.

What are we doing?

"People in the path of the hurricane are suffering. Now is not the time to talk about climate change policy..."

Yes it is. Don't "thoughts and prayers" me on climate change.

And besides, I already prayed to my god about it, and he said, "I'm not going to save you. Here's my best offer: I can bless the human race with common sense, a continent full of natural resources (Africa), and like 1 or 2 billion people who can make cheap solar cells and wind turbines for you ( + ). Save yourselves."

The US subsidized the hell out of corn, enabling "innovations in corn growing technology" (real term, not kidding), and then we were like "Oh no, we have too much corn! So. Much. Corn!"

So we started pumping out corn syrup, so we could drink corn, and we convinced cows to eat corn, and we shove corn everywhere we can, and export it, making corn cheap around the world...

So we do understand the concept of cheap solar.

The difference is that the world needs cheap, clean energy, not diabetes.
