And it's not just that Elon embraces white supremacist ideology. His cancellation of USAid has killed hundreds of thousands and some estimates project over 10M excess deaths by 2030. Posting on Twitter equates to moral approval of Elon's behavior. Is that worth the 'action'?

California may soon be able to eliminate entirely fossil gas peaker plants because a combination of batteries, hydro, and imports (which themselves are 58% WindWaterSolar and growing) provide the exact same service but at a much lower cost and faster ramp rate (and more cleanly and safely).
