the domestic oil industry employs more than a couple hundred people. and i don’t think most people are ready to support a policy that sounds like “i want to take your job, the jobs of your friends and family, and destroy your town.” they aren’t going to vote to support progressive climate policy unless there is a solution to their very real concerns.
edit for clarification - i don’t think most of the people employed in that industry or in communities it supports are ready, etc.
this makes me irrationally angry. who thought this was a clever idea?!
