... are you a fucking idiot? Any government official that suggested that would immediately be fired, and any politician would never get a single vote for the rest of their lives.

Dont underestimate the people. There's about 30% of people that are dumb, but to vast majority understand we are amidst a climate catastrophe, and we want policy to address it

Ok, sure. Go to your city council meeting and suggest implementing rolling blackouts in the town to combat climate change. See how far you get.

Oh, those people are making decisions on behalf plutocrats, not the people.

Ok, go talk to random people in the street and ask them if they are okay giving up electricity in their homes for several hours each day in the name of stopping climate change. Go ahead. I'll wait.

Ah, now were getting somewhere. Because if you explain to them why and tell them the government is going to install free solar panels on their home, most people will definitely be on board.
