I do not think any reporter will ask Harris is she is for energy abundance, even if it means an end to her dream of a Green New Deal. Should this miracle question get asked, expect her to skate around it, refusing, as she has with most questions, to provide any answer to it.

I hate this essays not because,of its core message but because it is lazy and ultimately dishonest. (1) I am a deep climate change believer (2) I did not support the green new deal because I thought a lot of it had nothing to do with climate (3) I am also a deep pessimist about the capacity of the human species to reason regarding g the long run (4) there is nothing in this essay behind the assertion that energy production is popular and therefore should be pursued. (5) this is true. - not ‘right’ or smart or perceptive. But it is true. (6) therefore we will do nothing really about climate change

When I read self obvious assertions like this essay I wish the writers would be honest. Either (1) ‘we don’t believe in this climate change nonsense and are in favor of drill baby drill, as a principle’ or (2) we do believe in climate change and we are confident that nothing will or should be,done about it
