Republicans + Joe Manchin don’t care about this. Most policy makers aren’t captured by the fossil fuel industry and many are pushing for the kind of structural changes we need, but it’s hard for them to accomplish as much with active opposition at the U.S. federal level.


Not just U.S. Just ask the German green party whether to invest money in a new highway or in a new train track. The result may surprise you. I wouldn't know why anyone votes for these clowns if not for that the other parties don't even claim they'll do something good for climate if elected

But at least they succeeded in getting rid of nuclear ¯\_(:))_/¯


Yeah, I’m not saying it’s just Republicans but there is a significant amount of leverage in controlling the massive US economy which the fossil fuel industry has used carefully to stymie international agreements.
