Let's be specific:

A pivotal climate battle can be won by solarizing California for  the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics...upending the global equation ecologically, economically and politically.

Letter printed below

The principle political target is Gavin Newsom, not Donald Trump.

As Lieutenant-Governor, Newsom signed a landmark 2018 blueprint for shutting the two dying atomic reactors at Diablo Canyon, replacing their output with a green phase-in.  

The deal was signed by then-Gov. Jerry Brown, the state legislature & regulators, local governments, unions, green groups...& plant owner PG&E

Solar, wind, geothermal and battery storage now dwarf Diablo's output & regularly exceed California's entire electric demand; installed statewide battery backup exceeds Diablo's capacity by a factor of 4 (and growing) avoiding potential blackouts at least twice.

My former CIA colleague Larry Johnson has a real ability to clarify the significance of the constantly growing deep dark hole that Joe “Mumbles” Biden, he of failing mental capacity, has hurled the American people into. Larry wrote on December 12th that “There is still plenty of time before Donald Trump is inaugurated for Joe Biden’s team of cretins to start World War III. I think the biggest risk is that Israel may be emboldened to attack Iran and try to destroy sites, and may be encouraged to do so by the Biden lackeys.

Jesus Lizard are a legendary group who I don’t own any albums except their newest record

Rack. Jesus Lizard are a band skaters bumped after quitting skating while using drugs or drinking and starting bands. Jesus Lizard became a noise rock favorite while people were coming of age. Finishing school introduced responsibilities requiring employment and maturity.

Jesu Lizard are a literate man’s band.

Jesus Lizard released blue collar punk. I have close friends in Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Louisiana that all regard Jesus Lizard concerts as life-affirming events. Jesus Lizard shows were an act of insubordinate living in rejection of societies’ pre-programmed acquiescence. I hadn’t watched Jesus Lizard live, I was too young or I wasn’t in town.
