Also, you don't have to convince me on climate change. I am one of the few conservatives that believe it is real. I just don't think it is wise to throw our economy into turmoil to correct it. I believe that there are solutions to slow the process that don't lead to unnecessary financial burden. Every solution that comes from the left in Washington adds costs to producers and consumers.
I agree that there can be solutions but there cannot be until the government shows some initiative on the subject. Obama took a first step, trump is pulling us back 5. We need to show initiative and ignore big energy companies, and listen to scientists and solutions will come. We showed initiative on space travel and look how that turned out. If humans really make an effort to do something we can. But we need a Kennedy of the modern era to jump-start it.
Good solutions do not exist now. But the Koch brothers prevent us from finding some.
THANK GOD you believe in climate change. I am very passionate on the subject and I would consider myself knowledgeable.
I will say the Democratic Party is hurt greatly by people like RCBracco. It is very difficult to convert people to your beliefs in your cause with name calling and belittling. As I have said a couple times, this behavior is typical for a lot of the people in your party. I appreciate your civility and willingness to have an educated debate. I think your best chance in making a difference in your fight is to start by getting the Pelosi's and Feinstein's out of office. They are the RCbracco's of Washington. They are the reason that republicans currently own American politics at every level.
While I agree that RCBracco is bad on our name, Republicans have people like Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, the KKK, DougOut, etc. on their side. Every group has people who make them look bad, and it is best to ignore the extremist minority to get to the core of the issue.
I appreciate your willingness to have an educated debate as well. I just wish that we could get people influenced by big energy out of high ranking positions. In a perfect world, money would not influence politics, but oh well...
