Agreed. The problem is so deeply embedded in our society that any change that doesn't have some profit isn't going to gain traction. A real plan for climate adaptation would piss off both corporate and public and she'd be out asap for the next person who promises to keep things status quo.
I have hope she'll continue to move us towards clean energy solutions, etc., but we won't see or hear any definitive plans until she's in the Oval Office.
We'd also need to see more progressive seats in both House and Senate, since legislation to spark any improvement direction would have to go through them.
Absolutely. And the better she performs in public, the more likely that will come to pass.
