Just passed a bill for plug-in solar, so people can plug in solar panels at their house and not have to go through crazy permitting procedures.

Just really practical approach, I think, to what makes sense in terms of policy.

I know.

The pothole filling.

The pothole filling.

It's been a bummer for a lot of us that he hasn't really talked about climate that much.

Like, pushing for public transit, obviously, great.

Climate solution.

We love bikes.

We love buses, subways, all of that.

Like, that's great.

But he has really he's talked about it all through the lens of affordability and not so much about like, also, this is good for the earth, which is good for the humans.

And the most vulnerable ones are the ones who get screwed.

the most by climate change.

And his track record is one of like very strong advocacy for climate.

But in this political moment, he has just chosen not to emphasize that or talk about it.

And it's part of this like trend of green hushing that we're seeing.

It used to be like greenwashing, like companies pretending to do all this good stuff that they were, was like nonsense.

And now it's like people aren't even talking about it at all.

which is a problem because the majority of Americans are, like, super concerned and would like to see politicians do more.
