Climate change

There is much confusion about the new green deal. There is the part about replacing fossil fuels with wind and solar and the other part about jobs. The first part gets most of the news coverage and means using natural gas for transportation, building thorium nuclear plants and constructing wind and solar near every power plant and every structure and using natural gas as a backup. Part two means rebuilding the power grid, refitting existing structures with energy saving improvements, upgrading roads and bridges and all public buildings. Most of this is heavily reliant of government subsidies. For example, the MPLS light rail, considered a success, was built with government money and operates with 65% of expenses paid by government. To be self supporting would have fares so high that usage would be minimal. Why isn't all of the above already underway? Simple answer is that politicians cannot put the country ahead of their parties. It's all about who gets the credit so nothing gets done. Even the citizens take sides politically both sides blaming the other side while nothing gets done. What fools we mortals be.
