Welcome to the Methow Valley. Every year the fires get worse, and worse, and worse. My home. If it ins't wildfires, it is floods, or hurricanes. And then you have Florida where it is almost impossible to even install solar panels to do something, because of their government.

No More Rewarding Climate Change Denying States Who Refuse To Do Anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think to get "aid" you have to prove you have voted for addressing climate change somehow. How about that?

I know I am in the minority, but how many here watch their beloved home burn year, after year, after year and watch a political party hindering all action to address climate change. Republicans own Florida. As long as they ignore climate change they should not get one penny from responsible HUMANS.
