Good ol' Lloyd Doggett gets it

Lloyd Doggett (and some other guy who isn’t my representative in Congress) in an opinion piece for The Guardian: The Iran war reminds us: we’ll never be energy-independent with fossil fuels.

Efforts like the Hromada Project, which is named after the Ukrainian term for “community”, will be essential in helping Ukrainians weather the war by connecting local nongovernmental organizations in Ukraine to public- and private-sector support from around the world.

That’s exactly what our government should be doing: helping communities around the world be more energy secure and independent, sourcing their power locally with renewables, storing energy in batteries for backup, and electrifying everything to make the transition seamless. That’s certainly what is happening in China, which has dominated the global wind, solar, battery and electric vehicle markets as a result.
