Over the past few months, BlackRock and other major investment firms have abandoned their commitments to green investments, saying explicitly that it's not profitable enough. Yes, renewables are cheap... but they are not nearly as profitable as fossil fuels.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
