re: #8 LudwigVanQuixote

It’s been quite obvious that the money behind the GOP wanted the science quashed so that they could continue to extract profits to the detriment of us all.

The truly sad thing is that this problem is fixable and even profitable to do so.

Denmark for instance created 200,000 jobs which can not be outsourced by updating their grind and employing wind-farms. They now receive 21% of their power from this free source of energy and billions of dollars that would have left their nation each year, instead stay in their economy and grow it.

Germany, Sweden, Israel and the US Navy have similar - working - programs.

Even from an economic wonk point of view the GOP position is a pack of lies designed to keep certain interests wealthy. The fact that those same interests spent billions of dollars to astroturf against “special interests and government intervention” is an irony that would be beautiful, if there were not also billions of lives at stake.

Free markets, bee-yotches!
