Do you have any sense of where Northern Illinois would rank (in carbon-efficiency terms) compared to other small regions around the country?

I wish the transition could happen overnight, but if you gamble too hard and we get caught short (i.e. energy crisis) - we would destroy credibility of the transition

I fully support tradition to green energy asap - but donโ€™t agree Obama and Biden at fault for supporting USA fossil fuel growth.
USA energy security > USA full green energy

Good faith discussion is needed. Different viewpoints are needed. How else to learn?
Trolls and bots donโ€™t bring good faith discussion. Block away and hopefully @jay.bsky.team and team are investing in tech to reduce bots

Follow up question- what do you (in your infinite wisdom) deem the maximum amount of money a person is allowed to have?

Screenshot of tweet from Brit Hume sharing link to The Spectator and saying, "Quote: "The NeverTrump movement had no guiding principle other than 'Orange Man Bad.' They were a collection of power-hungry individuals, frustrated at being shut out of the Republican administration or denied access to the halls of power..."

Actually, we with @principlesfirst.bsky.social have 15 guiding principles and "orange man bad" is not one of them. We give equal opportunity support and applause to anyone who lives out our principles.

@jay.bsky.team - as a new user (as of this week) Iโ€™d find value in that idea

This is critical and smart - would like to see this adopted in other states too
