Nothing infuriates an uninformed Congressional Dem more than when they realize they voluntarily triggered a debate with someone who actually knows what they are talking about(x.com)

He's not answering the questions, and is instead spending his time insulting her by bringing up unrelated names. He's out of order, on purpose. She's right that he and others are destroying the EPA and deregulating the EPA to the point of corporate control over environmental decisions. (I did not downvote this post, BTW.) Anyone siding with the corporations on these EPA decisions is supporting the destruction of the environment by corporations. It's pay-to-play political corruption. It's also bootlicking.

It’s all a question of which corporations control congress. If you think congressional green energy initiatives aren’t motivated by corporate lobbying, we’ll you’d be wrong. Congress wouldn’t do anything if a corporation didn’t encourage them to. And congress has engaged in green energy funding and regulation before.

Which ever team of lobbyists win there is always one loser. It’s us in both cases.

I can think of one problematic example:

Shell is investing roughly $2–3 billion annually in its "Renewables and Energy Solutions" division, focusing on wind, solar, electric vehicle (EV) charging, and biofuels. source

But Shell makes significantly more money from the sale of oil and gas than from green energy. source

Moreover, Shell spent 7x more on oil and gas than "renewables" in 2024. source

If BigCorp is not under pressure to develop green energy, it won't, because it's less profitable. If politicians gain and lose seats due to voter demands and concerns - rather than in the service of BigCorp, the majority of voters would want improved options for energy for themselves and their children.
