Must we base our economy on oil - on its jobs, its perhaps irreplaceable accruals of wealth and power? Does the American Way of Life (AWOL), our access to anything and everything money can buy, require such power in our hands? If our power were distributed as with solar and wind, do we risk AWOL?

For a long time, doors of opportunity opened readily for white men; for others - not so much. In this land of opportunity, it is right for a government of, by and for the people to address this often unconscious bias. That's DEIA. And that's the Voting Rights Act. SCOTUS was wrong to deny it.
