I hate TSF with the heat and power of every sun and star in the universe.
And of course, this fascist regime would rather prop up the kinds of energy extraction that are literally killing our planet. Huge subsidies to the fossil fuels industries, but no money for policies that could make a real difference: improved insulation and storm windows for all older buildings and homes; solar energy panels wherever possible, even as just a supplement to the buildings energy use; the use of new types of building materials which are more energy efficient and resistant to the challenges of climate change; solar panels installed over parking lots and canals used for irrigation, etc.
If you can find a copy (it is out of print), read " Salmon Nation ". It was put together by various editors. The book is the story about how Pacific Salmon are the signature species that built the ecosystem that is the Pacific Northwest.
Salmon once fed huge areas of Earth. Check the historical ranges of these iconic fish, our beautiful silver relatives.
I'm willing to stand in defense of Salmon Nation, even when it increases my energy costs. And for anyone who thinks otherwise, I am not wealthy, not by any measure.
