in a delicate spot: Some prominent leaders say they should seize the moment and aggressively promote an ambitious clean energy agenda, while others want to pump the brakes on that strategy.
But with images of dead children, mass graves and bombed-out apartment buildings in Ukraine, voters also are pressing those representatives to do more to help Ukrainians defend themselves against Russian troops. Rep. Melanie Stansbury, D-N.M., is also among those who say Democratic priorities should focus on immediately lowering gas prices while also helping Ukraine.
Remarks like those highlight the tricky midterm messaging facing Democrats as they grapple with high gas prices and a worsening war but also enormous pressure from environmental groups and climate activists who are demanding progressive lawmakers push their green energy agenda while they have slim majorities in the House and Senate.
No we’re not
I just had a thought. Let's still go from electric as planned. So when an idiot like Putin acts up in the world in the future. We won't have to pay a lot more to use our vehicles. That shouldn't be a progressive idea. It should just be considered common sense.
'progressives' are really salty in this comment section.
If the war with Russia goes real bad the resulting nuclear winter might offset global warming.
Nope, not really. They've been proven right...MSM are just echoing fossil fuel talking points. 🤷
It makes no sense not to try. We should all support any attempt to protect our children and children's children's future. And why not try to get something good out of the tragedy that is unfolding?
