Hawaii in an agreement with environmental youth extortionists to de carbonize by 2045. Some of the agreements were a 40 mm investment in electric charging stations, electric public transportation with a 300 bb investment.  But they are still going forward with infrastructure improvements that will allow more carbon cars.  No talk about incentives to lower electric vehicle or a change in the electric production.

The first presidential debate was held this week and probably the last.  Some notable lines from Biden: I defeated Medicare, no murders or terrorists crossed the border, no troops died under my watch as I ended all wars, ignoring the 13 people dying at Afghanistan withdrawal and per DoD over 1300 have died since 2021 in active duty.  Trump notable line - I don’t know what he said.  Trump was very unimpressive in the debate didn’t look like he fully grasped some issues but with the pure Elder abuse of putting Biden up there he looked liked the. OST competent person in the world.
