GOP Disasterbation

The terrifying realization that within a single year the Deepwater Horizon and Fukushima disasters could take place without changing the prospects for renewable energy in this country even the slightest bit is all the proof you need that the Republican Party is not only profoundly unserious but by far the most actively and absolutely dangerous organized force in American life today.

False equivalency tools of the Moot take note: every single actually elected person in our national public life talking sense on these issues is a Democratic and not a single Republican is doing the same, and if that isn't a difference that makes a difference to you, and if you are indifferent as well to the extent to which plenty of the Democratic compromises well-informed and principled citizens find most annoying symptomize the awareness of these lawmakers that whatever good they do must find ways to accommodate the relentless bad faith and stupidity of Republicans on these issues, well, then you are simply little use to anybody at all, least of all to the policy outcomes you claim to care about.
