Wow: "Ethiopia last year took the extraordinary step of banning the import of new gasoline-powered cars. Nepal reduced import duties on EVs so much that they are now cheaper than cars with internal combustion engines."
This is what it looks like to be serious about clean energy. We are a dinosaur.

I dealt with a lot of fossil-fuel propaganda in my book, but the lie that “by doing what we’re already doing we’ve avoided the bad outcomes” has in the past two years turned out to be the most popular and the most pernicious of all the disinformation I discussed.

Y'all are really pushing all of the Black journalists out of the industry, so that you can ask trash questions like this?
Embarrassing.
Some questions are harmful in and of themselves. It doesn't matter what's said in the debate, or who "wins."
Pretending that this is not trash, is weakness.

one last observation: donald trump has never won a majority of the vote and yet the political press treats him like the embodied spirit of the american people. will be interesting to see how they discount mamdani as representing new york if he wins less than a majority.

Did you hear about this new study recommending that the Democrats move right on most issues?
Well, I just took a moment to dig into their data — and, lo!, it is nonsense.
They're testing not voters' opinions about policies, but the parties' MESSAGING about policies — which is very different!
