Yes, climate change denial is rapidly becoming an albatross around Repub's necks. I read all these business post, and many conservative investors are defecting to the renewable side, haha (now we just have to hope that all the wind farms, photovoltaics, HVDC grids, batteries are actually highly viable, surely some more than others). As one promoting renewables/EVs since 70s-80s, I could never figure out the Republican paradox (ie "We need to be less dependent on Arab oil" but at same time "We hate renewables") It seems that now, growing renewables/energy self-sufficiency puts us in a strong economic/defense position, cutting air pollution (popular positions, regardless of whether one believes in climate change). Now that climate change is popularly accepted, a clean electric future almost a fait-accompli, Republicans will need a new boogeyman.
