To the editor: Regardless of all of the promise of renewable power, President Trump has “reduce many federal renewable power packages, with a renewed emphasis on fossil fuels” (“U.N. says booming photo voltaic, wind and different clear power hit international tipping level for even decrease prices,” July 22). This complete scenario is analogous to the parable of the good Samaritan.
Recalling the parable, an injured man is ignored by individuals who ought to 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 reveals is getting progressively worse. We must always anticipate efficient governmental motion, however as a substitute the issue is being exacerbated by Trump, who’s rolling again initiatives that fight local weather change. The category making an attempt 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.
