Another thing @volts.wtf and I discuss on this pod is the idea of fossil fuel *militance,* which is different from mere climate change denial. It's the through line connecting Trump's bizarre hatred of wind power, fearmongering about EVs making us vulnerable to China, etc:
We don't talk about this enough, but if Trump wins, he will do everything possible to repeal Biden's climate policies.
On the pod, @volts.wtf volts is incredibly informative on how disastrous this would be. He also explains a concept called "petro-masculinity":

Could it have anything to do with the business model of red states and that if they transition away from fossils, the justification for supporting the GOP likely evaporates?
