If even a Democratically-led California is doing this, how can you point fingers at just the GOP? It's endemic to the system, and not restricted to just one party.

I just can’t with “both sides” when one side is increasingly becoming lawless and reckless.

Republicans are always trying to increase and protect oil subsidizes, cheer "drill baby drill", and have social media tools peddling their bs who are funded by foreign influence campaigns. The Democats may not be perfect, but they are much more likely to cut oil subsidies or at least subsidize solar and other renewables to balance. This is especially true as the next generation takes over by primarying the tepid fossils currently in office. Meanwhile, dear leader Dumpty likes to suggest windmills cause cancer because he doesn't like what they look like on the horizon of his golf dumps. Saying this is a "both sides" problem is laughable.

Fly over Texas and the California and compare the number of solar and wind installations you see.

Yup. 46.8 GW photovoltaic in California and 22.8 GW photovoltaic in Texas. Over twice as much PV in California even though they have higher standards for new construction in general than Texas does.

Federal involvement during WWII led to the founding of Silicon Valley.

We're getting closer and closer to Jarvis.

Harry Seldon would, no doubt, find this fascinating. Imagine having a sliding-window LLM that you could use to verify a statistical model of society. I wonder what patterns it could deduce?
