A very big part of the problem here is pretty simply that if renewable energy really does actually reduce both wholesale and retail electricity prices, it can "feel" like nothing if it just makes a price rise less severe
All people notice is rising bills, even if the rise would've been worse w/o RE

Cool that renewables have become the cheapest source of energy in the world just as a bunch of reactionary-centrist US pundits have taken up the right-wing "climate vs. cheap energy" framing.

‘The anti-vax movement isn’t simply a grassroots network of concerned parents. It’s an industry. … It operates on a simple premise: if you’re not vaccinating your kids, you need to protect them somehow, and here’s a bunch of things you can buy to do that.’

I once toured Atlanta’s 175-year-old Oakland Cemetery with a friend. Were struck by how many families lost multiple children within days of each other. We realized it was due to the lack of vaccines.
And this kooky, lying moron wants to take us back to those days. RFK Jr. should resign.

ABC news angle: The Business Council warns a 2035 emissions reduction target of 70+% could lead to loss of $100+m in exports.
But... they're fossil fuel exports. A problem. We're committed to losing - and replacing - them. BCA supports this, right? Q is when.
Benefits of action? Not modelled.
