  1. Voting matters much more than we like to think. #VOTE2022 "A changing climate poses the greatest economic risks to the red states where voters and the politicians they elect are the least likely to believe in the threat of a warming world, according to a new report." "The report, from the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution, found states like Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas face potentially catastrophic losses from hotter summers and stronger storms through the end of the century."

  2. The Republican party refused to vote for the new law that will create millions of jobs and save thousands of lives in their home states and districts. "The Inflation Reduction Act, signed by President Joe Biden earlier this week, passed without a single GOP vote. But red states are likely to see major benefits from its investments in clean energy — just as they have in the past — despite protests by their governors over the climate package." "Republican-led states are some of the largest wind and solar energy producers in the U.S. and have benefited greatly from the past decade of expansion — not only through job growth, but through lower ratepayer prices."
