Not fossil fools? Yeah right. While I appreciate there attempts to limit carbon emissions this bill does absolutely nothing to stop the destructive practice of mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia or the ongoing genocide against native peoples in places such as Black Mesa. Stopping carbon emissions does not equal sound environmental policy. Nukes, after all, are technically “carbon neutral”. What good are carbon sequestering coal plants if the coal is being produced by some of the most environmentally and socially destructive practices on Earth? Anyone that advocates for the continued use of fossil fuels in any capacity is in my opinion a FOSSIL FOOL.
