Noting that all three are (D). Statement of fact, and not opinion attempt. The actionable items on renewables are also huge with deregulation of energy sectors in these three states which is huge impact. Also noting, the lobbyst are all renewable folks - et al Tesla. :) SolarCity ... wonder who was pushing this? ya. Again .... not a political statement. Just pointing out the obvious.
- burkaman 9y agoWhat lobbyists are you talking about? Are you claiming there aren't any companies outside the renewable energy space lobbying in favor of the Paris Agreement? Have you heard of Exxon?
- chasing 9y agoYou're someone who has been on Hacker News for almost five months and the only other comment you made before today was how you'd totally be a porn star, cos, y'know, free sex and drugs. I'm not trying to say anything, I'm just saying. Just pointing it out. And maybe this isn't some grand liberal conspiracy because it's something that the entire planet and most Americans believe is a huge problem and maybe some intelligent governors see a chance to both act nobly for the common good and promote their energy economies -- two things pretty much everyone seems to agree the Paris Climate Agreement would do. Again, not trying to say anything, I'm just saying.
- buckbova 9y ago> because it's something that the entire planet and most Americans believe is a huge problem The problem is even if I believe this statement (which I don't), the proposed solutions are government power grabs and wealth redistribution.
- chasing 9y ago> government power grabs and wealth redistribution The bogeymen conservatives and the GOP use to justify every single one of their regressive and harmful policies...

- Sivart13 9y agoShaming people for their comment history isn't a good look.
- chasing 9y agoI think my point has been lost and it's tough to transmit tone-of-voice in a comment on a website. My failings. The comment wasn't about shaming him, it was parodying the lazy "I'm just saying" rhetorical technique of casting aspersions on something. Onward through the fog.
- jjawssd 9y agoYou have nothing of value to add to this conversation so you dig into the parent's post history and shame the parent to discredit. Disgusting.
- chasing 9y agoIf clicking two links to see what someone wrote in public on this very site is a problem -- jeez. I don't know what to say. I do it all the time when I read a comment that's really insightful or when I see something silly or off-kilter and am just curious. It's not like I dug up his credit score.
- adventist 9y agonot cool man. not cool.
- awalton 9y agoDamn that Green energy lobby. Trying to save their constituents from the damages of climate change. Those miserable bastards.
- dreamthtwasrome 9y agoThere is only one party, Capitalism, and they have two departments: Democrats and Republicans. The others whom stand against them are the DINOs and RINOs like JusticeDemocrats, BrandNewCongress and Sanders whom are currently at the margins attempting reform. (Third parties are mere delusions without an overwheling majority of power players that can jump ship together.) If the grassroots has any hope, it will be a grassroots-demanded trend to clean money politics and push out establishment decay these insurgents bring to the table.
- alexbeloi 9y agoExxonMobil, Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell and BP are all in favor of America staying in the Paris climate agreement, and if you look at those company's websites, they all accept the prevailing scientific consensus on climate change. The coal industry is the last holdout of the climate change skeptics. Everyone in oil and gas has seen the future and have started to push research and investments into renewables to limit their risk exposure.
