This depends on if the renewable energy they are switching to is actually "green" or if we are just making problems for other areas. Eg. Solar panels using rare earth metals that need to be mined in other countries that destroy rain forests and use child labour to attain them.

I think that the renewable energy sources are something to be used on a small scale not a large one, so I wouldn't mind some funding but not a pile of money

 @8ZFVK9Gfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

nevermind that, i should lead this country

 @8VJFQJNfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes for we must find a green energy source or we we’ll be left behind

 @8VJ7CMYfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only to get industry more established and to encourage new technology and innovation.

 @8TYLQCKLiberalfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only in the initial stages of devlopment

 @8TX9JF8from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Renewable energy should be subsidized at the same or even double the rate fossil fuels are subsidized!!!

 @8DH2KYQLiberalfrom Alberta  answered…5yrs5Y

Yes and no, depending on people’s incomes

 @8CV2T7Gfrom Alberta  answered…5yrs5Y

No because currently the lime between "renewable" and "non-renewable" is too blurred.

 @9B38TVWfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

I just hate the government:)

 @9958DDPfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

yes, but to an extent

 @98XPY8Pfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

No but they could help the producers to make it more affordable

Kamala Harris is considering running for president again in 2028

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”Harris concedes: 'We must accept the results of this election'SharePlay VideoMost immediately, Harris and her advisers are working to define how and when she will speak out against Donald Trump and reassert her own role in the Democratic Party. Closing out her term as vice president, she’s set to preside over certifying the November election she lost to Trump, and then appear at the once-and-future president’s inauguration on Jan. 20.“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.At the same time, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will have a long checklist to plow through before they leave the Naval Observatory for good.They have to decide whether they’ll take up permanent residence at their home in Los Angeles, or establish a base elsewhere. No matter where Harris and her family live, some around her have expressed concerns about safety, as her Secret Service protection expires six months after stepping away.
