Thank you for this!!! This is honestly so refreshing. Yes, the facts are sobering. I live them. But your exposition of them is soooooo needed and I appreciate it deeply.

In the "food system" world I live and work in, I can summarize an ingredient in the solution mix thusly: plant fruit bearing trees and bushes. Plant perennial herbs and shrubs. Learn what they provide us. Eat (mostly) within the ecosystem where you live.

These are tiny bits of solutions that many of us, individually have control over.

Elizabeth, thank you for your excellent writing!

......”They have befuddled the middle class with false claims that alternative energy would work if the oil companies would just fold their tents and walk away”....

It is frightening to realize that you are correct about the true intentions of the elite and powerful. In the past 5 years rural farmland in nearly every remote niche in America is being exchanged for solar panels promising generous returns of low cost energy. The foolish people wait patiently now for a crop that “won’t grow”. All the while their energy bills rise. The altered landscapes where promising crops annually flourished, now stare back at them with metal and glass structures anchored in the once fertile soil. They have been “befuddled” as you say.

Even the Pope in Rome is “all in “ on this climate hoopla. I am determined to keep calling it out the “befuddled” who have the power and responsibility to be more long-sighted and prudent.

You are a credible talented writer with a strong cogent argument based on experience. Thank you for sharing your passion and bravely exposing the evil players who conjure up the rules and regulations they expect to impose on private citizens and taxpayers. Although, the “befuddled” seem patient for now, I feel a reckoning coming.
