1. If only this would be the tipping point for the people of the world

where fossil fuels are concerned. If everyone could get fed up with a few mega corporations and ultra rich men dominating our lives with their wars and resource theft over and over, generation after generation, and take steps to move away. But how, without govt help? That's the big obstacle, IMO. I'd gladly get rid of my subcompact gas powered car, but I'm a senior on SS and living even month to month is already hard. No one in the world is going to sell me an electric car, no matter how much I'd like one.

I was ready to rip the roof apart and have solar panels put on... and then trump took office again. As soon as he did, I cancelled my transactions with the solar company. Told them flat-out that I believed without hesitation that trump would rip the tax breaks, etc., from solar and wind power. And sure enough, I was right (of course, it didn't take a genius to see that coming.).

If there were only a way we could turn our back on the fossil fuel noose they have around our necks, and bankrupt their companies (even slowly) I'd sing to the wind till the day I die.
