To the editor: Regardless of all of the promise of renewable power, President Trump has “minimize many federal renewable power applications, with a renewed emphasis on fossil fuels” (“U.N. says booming solar, wind and other clean energy hit global tipping point for even lower costs,” July 22). This complete state of affairs is analogous to the parable of the good Samaritan.
Recalling the parable, an injured man is ignored by individuals who must be anticipated to assist, however is aided by a member of what was seen as a lowly class.
The injured man within the parable corresponds to the human and financial damages from local weather change, which overwhelming scientific proof exhibits is getting progressively worse. We should always anticipate efficient governmental motion, however as an alternative the issue is being exacerbated by Trump, who’s rolling again initiatives that fight local weather change. The category attempting to assist are out-of-power Democrats, who’re deprived as was the Samaritan within the parable.
With all this energy held by such a damaging president and a sycophantic Republican Congress, it’s important that Democrats acquire management of Congress within the midterms.
