    It will be deliciously ironic if Trump’s legacy is saviour of the planet for being the final straw that forcibly weens everyone off oil despite doing everything he could for the opposite.

      I’ve heard people explain Trump as an extinction burst, a death rattle of a dying system. Personally I think this could go either way.

      I’d like to think of it as a selfown. But I have to admit that necessity usually is the strongest motivator for change. I’ve had a “green energy” contract for many years. Every year I try to find, proactively, new affordable an doable solutions for my energy usage & footprint. Right now considering a homebattery for example.

        Interesting that you should bring Nixon up. I swear that Modern Republicans are going down a checklist trying to undo every accomplishment of Nixon and Nixon-Era Republicans.
