As a subscriber, you may have noticed that I haven’t published this newsletter in quite a while (though the frequency of blog posts on the website hasn’t diminished; we have a total of 15,700+, growing daily).
When it was originally conceived, 2GreenEnergy focused largely on the business aspects of renewable energy, but over the years our mission became broader.
While my associates and I remain poised to help our clients in any of dozens of different business disciplines, most of the new content on the site over the past few years has had little to do with commerce, and has concentrated on the imperative to phase of fossil fuels in favor of low-carbon alternatives so as to avert climate catastrophe, and that normally means confronting the political issues that stand in the way.
Sure, there are occasional posts on technology and economics, but today’s readers are most likely to see thoughts on:
• Putting constraints on Big Oil’s stranglehold on our lawmaking processes, and removing money from politics of all sorts, e.g., gun safety laws.
• Ensuring that Donald Trump never gets anywhere near the White House ever again, and, to whatever degree possible, removing “Trumpism” as an animating factor in American society.
• Accepting science as core of policymaking in climate change mitigation, pandemic control, etc.
• Understanding a variety of other related social issues, e.g., restoring quality education, maintaining the separation of church and state, and empowering women.
• Looking at the subject of sustainability more generally: agriculture, clean water, micro-plastics, mass transit, etc.
As we enter our 15th year, I want to thank everyone who’s contributed to furthering the cause of environmental responsibility, and that means you, regardless of the actual role you’ve played.

I’m not sure it’s as simple as this, insofar as Bush 41 and 43 weren’t criminal sociopaths.
I happened to be driving through Manhattan on the very day that Colin Powell was addressing the United Nations just a few miles away and claimed, and I think honestly, that Saddam Hussein had “weapons of mass destruction,” and must be stopped by a U.S. military invasion.
Contrast that against what we’re doing in Iran. Fifteen years ago, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), included Iran, the P5+1 nations (the United States, China, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany), alongside the European Union made an agreement in which most of the developed world agreed that Iran must not have a nuclear weapon.
That stood firmly in place until Trump’s latest war crime, which is costing lives and choking the world economy, solely to defend our president’s neuroses.
The Brennan Center at NYU’s seminal report on this issue, The Truth About Voter Fraud, found that most reported incidents of voter fraud are actually traceable to other sources, such as clerical errors or bad data matching practices. The report reviewed elections that had been meticulously studied for voter fraud and found incident rates between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent.
Does that stop liars like Mike Lee from spreading disinformation of the subject? Of course not.
There is no judgement day. There is no Saint Peter standing in front of the Pearly Gates discerning good from evil and acting according.
That’s a lucky break for Mike Lee.
