Bill, you write, “ We obviously need ways to speed work on renewable energy projects, ” but my sense is that the preponderance of your energy will oppose permitting reform. I think we need a proactive & positive approach to permitting reform for not just clean energy but also for housing density and transit. I think the benefits of these are far more important than the downside of “bad stuff” getting permitted (no reform will be perfect). I’d love to see more writing and proposals in this area.
Given the state of our country division witch I believe was partly caused by removing the office in the white house that dealt with lobbyist. Witch in turn let lobbyist pit one side against the other by letting money rule! Our democracy is said to be by and for the people yet that too is used by both sides. the true will of the majority of the people which is what a democracy is does not happen. The partisanship even in the supreme court does not speak for the majority of us and ether party has a hard time doing its job as well! So much money and time is spent with the fights going back and forth with little done. SO, I SAY WE SHOULD LET THE PEOPLES WILL BE DONE! Put these things on our voting ballots! We should not be wasting our lives and time and money only to have the majority suffer! Let’s have a true democracy! With guns laws 90% of the people want them! With climate change about 70% want action now! voting rights and drug cost and health care and more! LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK! DOING THIS WILL ALSO HELP TO GET PEOPLE TO VOTE!
“Heat Pumps for Peace and Freedom”...how are heat pumps powered? How are the electric chargers for EVs powered? How are solar panels and EV batteries, which only “store” energy, generated by some other source of power, manufactured? Can we be truthful here? Manufacturing of the equipment to generate or to store energy is not done through the singular power of with wind or solar power.

Thanks Bill!
