Why are taxpayers paying that billion dollars to one of the giant oil and gas companies to shut down a windmill that would provide cheaper electricity?

Why are electricity rates still going up in the US when in Australia,

Everybody in Australia gets three hours of free energy per day now, and the percentage is growing.

Electricity rates are going down quickly in those areas that have made a commitment.

They have affordable abundance.

We get as much energy from the sun in one hour as the entire global economy uses for an entire year.

That's abundance.

And the fact that it's the cheapest in history makes it affordable abundance.

But we are so hogtied by the fossil fuel industry and their allies, they're way better at capturing politicians than capturing emissions.

And so they've captured and tied up the decision makers and they've achieved hegemony

in all policy areas affecting the attenuation of their obsolete business plan.

And so, you know, we need to take the value of both affordability and abundance.

And back to your original question, I have been so impressed with how effective the new mayor is in communicating.

And I read a column, I forget who wrote it, I wish I could give the person credit, about the so-called sewer socialists in the

in the middle of the 20th century who were mayors in a lot of big American cities, especially in the Midwest, who called themselves socialists but became enormously popular because they plugged the potholes and made the sewers function and the waterworks and the roads and everything.

And I think that, you know, there's something so healthy about anybody who's going to take over as mayor and really grapple with the problems that people care about the most.

We're over.

You're a very empathetic person, Tim.

I've picked that up from all of your work.

Can you imagine how much fun that is not for me?
