Claims that 'We are going to rebuild stronger than ever' in Louisiana are just way off the mark.
Why rebuild on barrier islands that are getting pounded in the worst way with each successive hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico?
Why not bury powerlines under the ground so that each time we have a hurricane or an ice-storm (in the north) we don't have a power shut down for weeks at a time?
Can we begin to understand that switching to electric vehicles is not a real solution? Where do you get the electricity to charge cars? Does building more and wider roads with oil-based products really take us in the proper direction?
Why is there no major national move to increase public mass transit to get us out of our cars?
Why do we not connect the Pentagon's massive carbon bootprint to climate crisis?
Why do mainstream environmental groups virtually ignore the military connection to climate?
Instead of pissing away more than $1 trillion a year on war mongering, why don't the Democrats (who control the House and Senate) move that money to building solar, wind & tidal power systems, commuter rail, home weatherization and much more?
