In Wisconsin Senate Race, Voters Will Pick Between Two Candidates With Widely Differing Climate Views

Actually, I agree that clean energy credits are a form of corporate welfare. We should have clean energy mandates, and businesses should build the cost of not polluting into the cost of doing business. If you cannot do business without being clean, then you shouldn't be permitted to do business anymore.
Yes, that means that some businesses will close. Yes, that means people will lose their jobs. Yes, that means goods and services will become more expensive.
The economy will recover. It always does. Rich people won't be as rich. That's good news. Poor people will struggle, and government should help them. That's the point of a government, to provide services to its people.
The climate is not as resilient as the economy. Life doesn't always find a way. Sometimes, everything just dies, and that's the thing we want to avoid. Everything dying, slowly and painfully. Natural disasters, extreme temperatures, famine, drought, and the associated violence borne of actual scarcity.
So vote for Baldwin, but continue to push forward.
