Has Arora, a former Enron employee, also former employee of Amaranth Capital (a fossil fuel hedge fund sued for manipulating gas prices), ever voted to increase the electric capacity through green, renewable energy?

I don't see how the Democrat's failure to invest more in green energy absolves Arora of being a fossil fuel profiteer or not pursuing green energy-friendly policies himself.

Democrats being useless doesn't make Arora any less unreliable.

The Green Infrastructure is Coming. It is a huge part of the Infrastructure Bill the Democrats in Washington passed this year with ZERO support from Republicans. We would have passed it 10 years ago and we'd be benefitting now except for the Republican Party. This isn't even Trumps fault. It is totally on the Republicans. But I bet the Republican House in DC won't lift a finger to fix what they did to us.

It's true that for the last two decades or so the Democrats at the National level have tried very unsuccessfully to work with their Republican counterparts to get things done with bipartisanship and only in the last 2 or 3 years as a collective realized bipartisanship died in the Republican Party when Reagan had lost it to Dementia in his 2nd year. My Father a hard core conservative & Reaganite said as Reagan first midterm was approaching that "the man's mind had left the White House from Dementia and that he'd vote for the Libertarian Candidate in 1984 and did.

Remember when the obstructionists opposed Obama every chance they had?

Its basically been that way since Reagan. Bill Clinton couldn't get any traction on addressing Healthcare or Minority Rights or Voting Rights, DACA. Anything he tried to do they said NO, ITS AGAINST STRAIGHT WHITE FASCIST VALUES.

Partisan political narratives are indistinguishable from mental illness

“Bipartisanship” is just excuses for inaction. Look at most bipartisan legislation and you will usually find Republican legislation with more agreeable social language.

So you agree with me, but your phrasing was very partisan. Maybe drop the partisan language because you comment comes off as a partisan attack instead of being a serious comment.

Also LOL at the downvotes who think Dems are the answer to anything other than “the choice that isn’t R”

In your comment you also suggest that generation through non fossil fuel means is not possible, because if it was going to get done Dems would do it, which is absolutely laughable if you have anything beyond a surface-level understanding of politics.

You’re missing the point. Your phrasing suggested that because Dems has a majority that they actually tried and therefore sustainable energy is not possible (implying that we should then relent and build more pipelines).

I see the chameleon act though. This is not your first goalpost moving session
