I find meaning on a simple path: Be the change you want to see in the world. Passionate about many things, but especially climate action, walkable communities, active transportation, democracy, and respect for others. I also like to laugh.
In fairness, he probably has "the concepts of a plan."

The harmful thing here is he/they continue to undermine people's basis understanding of how insurance is supposed to work. It's why we have radio ads for maintenance "insurance" in your car that even pays for oil changes.

Regardless of the intentions of #BigOil and the politicians who do their bidding, this is not the end of the road for electrifying transportation. It's merely the next phase of an unstoppable transition.
