In 1979, Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House. In 1986, Ronald Reagan tore them down along w/Carter’s clean energy funding.
This sums up the difference between the two men & political parties. Investing in solutions for the future vs canceling progress to score political points.

Conservatives in Canada seem to believe that if -- or when -- the carbon tax is removed, food price inflation will disappear.
Trevor Tombe and Jennifer Winter have shown why that isn't the case with their recent study. Allow me to pile on a bit here.

US Democrats, this is the energy you need to bring to the Trump admin.
Lee Jae-myung, Leader of South Korea's Democratic Party, live-streamed himself scaling the walls of the National Assembly to bypass military barricades so that he could vote to overturn the President's martial law.

It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.
It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.
