If you're in the park, there's a wolf kill (elk) out on the Madison river. West entrance road. The shot is from yesterday. There's plenty of elk along the Madison corridor, it was just a matter of time before the wolves found them. Screen shot from a video Photo credit unknown

Municipal scale solar, wind and geothermal doesn't require massive distribution systems or wildly expensive electric grids Todays grid requires roughly $5 trillion in repairs. About half of all forest fires are caused by rusty old power line towers collapsing in the wind Why waste another dime
Solar works really well over agricultural fields as it mellows the rising temps and provides better growing conditions for many of our standard crops. Graph showing only the US is still pursuing petrolium production, everyone else, is cutting back. Show's an electric induction charging lane on a highway. Article titled 
The old dirty creaky US. electric grid would cost $5 trillion to replace, where should infrastructure spending go ?

We're doing infrastructure all wrong. Just a few well placed high speed rail lines, with of course wildlife overpasses in key places, and we'd alleviate some of that highway congestion. But nooooo We gotta prioritize fossil fuels.

If there's one thing the old guard centrists should have learned in 2024 is that the Millennial and Gen Z voters will not be bullied and they won't toe the line. If the DNC wants a win, they're going to have to wake up and support candidates that represent. People before corporations.
