How come more people aren't aware of the concept of creating green jobs, like setting up windmills or solar panels, instead of this stupid false dichotomy of environment OR economy? Perhaps I've answered my own question. The GOP and big oil companies want people to think that their way is the only way, and they don't understand the meaning of compromise.

I don't know how well these petitions actually work, but it's worth a shot to get this concept more out in the open, like Occupy Wall Street (although apparently dems and repubs are still doing lockdown as usual, like Occupy never existed).

No matter what your stance on global warming/climate change is, I don't see how there's any downside to improving the environment AND helping the economy, besides angering big oil.
