The Green New Deal vision of free water and electricity never made sense to me...

If you want people to conserve water and electricity, you make them pay based on their rate of consumption. If you want them to waste water and waste electricity, you give it to them for free.

>>>The punchline is that that presidential visit got vetoed because other factions in the White House warned that environmental groups wouldn’t like the president touting a facility that used natural gas as green.<<<

To echo Matt, I "like this president," too, but, if I have one gripe, it's that he doesn't have the killer instincts of some of his predecessors. He's too cautious. He should have been able to see the wisdom of visiting a steel mill (the dude's originally from NE Pennsylvania!). In word, he should be able to *triangulate* a bit more. What's the left going to do, support AOC in a 2024 primary challenge?
