Well, well, well. It turns out more voters blame fossil fuels than renewable energy for high electricity prices—and the most voters, correctly, blame utilities.
So if they promote more fossil fuels to lower costs, @mattyglesias.bsky.social, Dems will fail to campaign on voters' *actual* positions.

![Voters Most Blame Utility Companies for Higher Electric
Utility Bills
Who or what do you think is most responsible for higher electric utility bills?
Utility companies increasing profits 38%
Increased energy demand from new industries (like Al) %14
Extreme weather events causing higher energy demand 11%
Aging or inadequate energy infrastructure 10%
Foreign conflicts limiting energy supply 9%
Increased reliance on fossil fuels 8%
Increased reliance on wind and solar energy 5%
Something else [please specify] 5%

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa.
Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality.
In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

NEW: British journalist Sami Hamdi is being released from US detention.
Trump administration agents detained him two weeks ago at the San Francisco airport — hours after he addressed an event, where he urged US leaders to take an “America First” approach rather than “Israel First.”

Reactionaries hate govt, however, because they have a hierarchical moral system which manifests in economic policy as feudalism and mercantilism.
They literally believe that no one should have prosperity except people who won life's lottery. And so they've relentlessly attacked social systems.

For a multitude of reasons, this is a very bad idea. Creating more ecological damage by burying forests will not address the primary issue -- the burning of fossil fuels.
Proponents tout biomass burial to create carbon credits as a win-win-win for the climate, fire-scarred landscapes and those looking to offset their emissions.
