The Biden energy/climate plan is well thought out, and the message of
Jobs, jobs, jobs can't be amplified enough.
Markets, not subsidies, are pushing the growth of clean energy, and
the more people on left and right that understand that, the better.

Silly question!

(12,578 posts)If they don't get Fat Donnie's blessing the Repugs will find all kinds of reasons to blow renewable energy off. And 2xImpeach will do whatever the fossil fuels industry wants, as long as they line his pockets with enough money and blow smoke up his ass about how he is still the greatest president in history because the election was stolen from him.
As far as "jobs, jobs, jobs" goes -- that was the mantra they ran on for the midterms in 2010. "Jobs, jobs, jobs," was all they promised.
After the blowout at both the federal and state levels there wasn't a single jobs bill passed. During their first year in power, however, the Republican state legislatures passed 1,000 laws restricting or ending abortion.
The only way we'll get renewable energy -- and the good paying jobs it will produce -- will be to end the filibuster and ram it though on a party line vote, ignoring the Repugs screams of "unity!" Schumer is going to have to ride herd on his caucus, probably by putting a sweetener in the bills for each state.
