So far so good with one exception: the new bill opens public lands to oil drilling and the BLM is a horrific tragedy, a shameful mess, butchering our iconic wild Mustangs and burros which is ruining the entire environment and can't be undone. This bill is NOT GOOD ENOUGH. We need a real climate oriented bill. The Earth won't be habitable for ANYONE, man woman or child, if we don't demand true environmental elements in the legislation. It's only reasonable to end oil dependency immediately. The oil oligarchy won't suffer: they are rich enough.
I completely agree with you, and hope we can do this quickly once we expand the Senate. There is ZERO chance we get it done in our current makeup, alas. One more reason I basically never stop talking about the urgency of these elections in November.
