Peg... I'm glad to see you're out of the direct path.

The people who voted for this dirtbag may actually see the karma they asked for.

North Carolina has been among the states most militantly hostile to green energy.

In 2013, North Carolina's Republican-led legislature passed a law that required more permitting guidelines and applications for wind energy facilities, even though many of the permits were already required. Legislators also argued the 500-foot tall turbines would interfere with military radar in Virginia, even though the Department of Defense approved the project. Two years later, Republicans tried to ban wind energy through legislation in the state for similar reasons. That didn't pass, but Avangrid reduced the number of wind turbines from 150 to 104 in response to the concerns.

They supported Trump and coal... They ridiculed Al Gore and the idea that warming oceans were a threat to every living thing on earth. They just didn't care. They raised doubt... Let's just err on the side of recklessness.

Why? Because it was all worth it... for Gorsuch... Kavanaugh... and ultimate control over brown folks and vaginas... at least for a couple of generations. It was all worth it to own them smarty-pants libs. It was worth the destruction of the planet where they actually live.

Fuck 'em. Let 'em die.
