    This is one of those things that I kind of already knew but didn’t want to think about because I have no control over it. Yea ofc my electric bill would be going towards anti-green energy lobbying, why wouldnt it? They say we have choice and freedom in our society but having to choose between funding this kind of bullshit that harms the planet and everyone on it or going without power is a non choice and I certainly wouldn’t call it freedom.
