Further to my previous post, what is the likelihood that when these areas are rebuilt, the planners and builders etc take in to consideration the environment and:

Replace roads with road / tracks for trams to reduce traffic, make it so people can move around without the need for cars AND OR
Replace gas stations with electric car charging points
Ban the sale of Gasoline powered cars
Build all new homes with electric car charging points
Somehow design the towns with fire breaks, how about canals which are of course water, these could break up the town with water, which may in theory stop or at least slow down spread of fire
Build all new homes with solar panels and other energy saving designs so that everything is super efficient
Build more turbines or make use of water / hydro electric power, esp given Hawaii is an island

And other ideas that going forward will help the planet.

* Earlier in 2023 1,000 supporters of “National Conservatism” gathered in London
* speakers denounced “woke politics,” blamed immigration for rising cost of housing, said modern ills could be solved w. more religion & more (non-immigrant) babies

Politico reports on Republicans in disarray after Ohio voters denied their attempt to stop voters from changing their Constitution. But everything they’re saying is about messaging and not the actual policies.

Because that’s all Republicans do. They literally believe elections are a sham and our democracy is a time-limited dictatorship where you trick people into voting for you and then do whatever the hell you want. Then they act surprised at how unpopular they are.

India slashes emissions rate by one-third in 14 years, putting it on track to reach UN goal.

This drop is faster than expected and is down to a rise in renewable energy generation and forest cover, according to two officials who have seen the latest assessment made for submission to the United Nations.

The report's findings showed India well on the way to meeting a commitment to the United Nations.
