I talk with the congressman about why Trump is meeting so little resistance, what can be salvaged of energy policy in the next four years, and where to look for hope.
Sean Casten is an unapologetic supporter of Palestinian genocide. His district contains the largest number of Palestinians out of any district but he refuses to meet with them and instead takes millions from outside his district to support his re-election efforts. He is a despicable and corrupt man and has no business being on any left of center media.
I liked the responses to the question about: "What can we do locally?" #1 - "Go Do It!" And #2 - "Mandate It!" If carrots don't work, bring out the sticks. Maybe Democrats would get more credit from voters if they demonstrated the spine to mandate some stuff.
In France, they've required all existing parking lots with more than 50 spaces to install solar parking lot canopies within 5 years. Just add some stationary storage batteries & Vehicle-2-Grid Chargers and you've got widely distributed community micro-grids everywhere.
Oh? Or was it Republican lies and fear mongering about extremely minor changes. Meanwhile, Republicans institute mandates to every walk of life and Trump's approval rating barely moves.
Spending lots of public money and guaranteeing cost overruns isn't socialism and none of the three countries mentioned are socialist. China has the most billionaires in the World. The Green New Deal would have been the largest capitalist bonanza in the history of the world.
Important as Elon's austerity push further embeds the deficit mythology. Would like to see prominent Dems fight back against these myths.
I've been waiting for this type of program from you, David. Think you need to do more, bc the administration is clear cutting anything that would actually benefit this country.
Great episode. I don't know if I'd call it hopeful, but did take a little of the edge off the anxiety. If you can find anyone else out there with comparable knowledge and perspective, have them on. Thanks.

Mandates are what got the Dems in trouble .....

Really helpful discussion. I just signed up again! $$$😊

Maybe Sean Kasten can suggest a republican from the bipartisan climate caucus. That might make an interesting guest for Volts.
Problem is, they can't appear in a forum like this without losing their next primary. Maybe after they retire, they can do it.
