And they then list how they're trying to build a whim farm in Wyoming, which is clean energy, which we need to solve the climate crisis. Currently, it's set to be finished in 2026. which is 18 years after it was proposed. 18 years. So it's like, all right, if you care about climate, we can't fucking go at this pace. The planet is going to burn if we burn it. They're going to be the best windmills.

God. And it's like, yeah, okay, that's great that every single migratory bird got a hearing. And like, I love birds, but like, do we need to in every single project allow these people have agency? And sometimes that means we're like certain groups aren't going to be fully represented and have everything we want. And that sucks, but you have to.

No politician is incentivized to cut budgets. They're solely incentivized to get more money for their constituents. And this is one of the rare cases where you had a a president, Donald Trump, who got elected, who was saying he's going to like balance the budget and then set up Doge and gave it this ridiculous amount of access to whatever it wanted.

This is like in on paper should be the best chance for this to work. And they're fucking it up. And it's like, God, man, I like I want it to work. I hope it works. But I agree right now. I'm like, it's just all ideological and doesn't seem to be doing anything substantial. And that's sad. It's really sad. I agree.
