Don't know. All our residents Trump voter seems to be dug into this stupidity. I only see one person on here who said they didn't vote for Trump yet every discussion he involves himself in it's always "but the Democrats".

The triumph of the oil-igarchs. Any steps towards alternate energy solutions will have to wait until the last drop and the last lump have been sold.
America will have to rely on hundreds of years old low-tech, burning stuff to make steam, while the rest of the world researches and innovates their way into the future.
Get used to second-rate status. Trump, to paraphrase Mavis Staples, will take you there.
