US joins in other nations in swearing off coal power to clean the climate::The United States committed Saturday to the idea of phasing out coal power plants, joining 56 other nations in kicking the coal habit that's a huge factor in global warming. U.S. Special Envoy John Kerry announced that America was joining the Powering Past Coal Alliance, which means the Biden Administration commits to building no new coal plants and phasing out existing plants. No date was given for when the existing plants would have to go, but other Biden regulatory actions and international commitments already in the works had meant no coal by 2035.

Depends on if enough people vote or inaction due to feelings of helplessness allow the far right to take over again :/

The far right consistently makes up like 30% of the country and whenever normal people don't vote the far right wins and makes life even more shit for everybody.

Like yeah, don't get me wrong, Democrats aren't great, but they are miles and miles ahead of Republicans.
