The trajectory we're on now will lead to a hellish future for our children and our children's children. We must disrupt the fossil fuel industry NOW. As president I will declare a climate emergency, initiating a mass mobilization for a just transition from a dirty to a clean economy. I will cancel the Willow Project. I will approve no new oil drilling permits. It's time to ramp down, not keep ramping up, fossil fuel extraction.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how pervasive and un-quarantinable wildfire smoke has become. Re-upping today, as smoke from Canada blankets the U.S. northeast. 60% of the smoke impact of American wildfire comes outside the state where the fire is. (1/x) nytimes.com/2023/05/17/opini…

Madam Williams. I love the direction you want to take us. I would however like to offer an alternative to ramping down. What if we gave the oils companies the ability to ramp up?.....

Way up, but take away their tax benefits and require some parts of their profits to go towards renewable energy investments. They can partner with or merge with existing renewable companies ensuring they stay in business while helping out humanity.

Nice to see someone treat this crisis with the gravity it deserves! Unfortunately big oil has their grimy rapacious fingers in the in all of these politicians wallets. Biden has shown he doesn’t have what it takes to address this issue which,cannot be met with incrementalism.

You work for the rich not the middle class and poor. Wildfires were much worse a century ago...

So what you’re saying is that you want to implement totalitarian controls. Thank you for revealing yourself.

Declarations are all well and good, but how do you hope to pass actual legislative change when the GOP is run by religious zealots fetishizing the apocalypse? After asking them nicely fails, will you just shrug and stop? What is your actual plan?
