Whether or not this legislative bloatware passes will have negligible impact on the climate change you'll experience in your lifetime, and unless you're a polar bear, climate change is not an apocalypse, existential threat, or anything like it.

Pretending the world is about to end if we don't create modest incentives for decarbonizing the electric grid in one country is just going to lead people to apathy and despair over the climate issue, which requires long-term creative thinking and planet-wide optimism to solve.

The next decade of climate change is locked in independent of the most radical policy choices, and this is why I believe the climate apocalypse framing will bring us nothing but backlash and failure. If some legislation is do-or-die, what are we supposed to do if it doesn't pass?

Replying to @Pinboard
Friend - I had you pegged as an intelligent but standard leftist. Serious question: Have you always been this much of an independent thinker? Is this the same person who was doing crazy campaigning, or is this different post election?

An important goal when campaigning or fundraising is not to antagonize people who are on your side, so there's a lot I wouldn't talk about back then that I feel more free to talk about now. I don't think my worldview has changed much from before.
