The first off-ramp we had to get off of fossil fuels was nuclear energy. It wasn’t the conservatives who blocked that exit.
If nuclear energy buildup in the 1990s had followed the trend of the 1970s and 1980s, we could have kept CO2 below 400 ppm.
The three groups who conspired against that decarbonization were: the coal lobby, anti-nuclear activists and labour unions (because coal unions were strong back then).
Only one of those groups were the rich conservatives.
Sorry, gonna hard disagree there.

Only delusional people thing the Democrats actually want to help them. They’re all crooked, the Republicans are just more open about it.
