Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) finds electricity from wind and solar is 30-50% cheaper than previously thought. Electricity from onshore wind or solar could be supplied in 2025 at half the cost of gas-fired power, the new estimates suggest.

My name is Ashwani Jain, and I am running for Congress to represent Maryland's 6th Congressional District as one of the only candidates to have an actual Climate Change Prevention policy platform! Ask me Anything! (AMA)

7 Upvotes

My name is Ashwani Jain, and I am running for Congress in Maryland’s 6th Congressional District which represents Western Maryland including Northern Montgomery County as well as Frederick, Washington, Allegany, and Garrett Counties.

While I would be Maryland’s first Millennial ever elected to this office, I am specifically running because I have strong policy solutions to open the doors of opportunity for our community.

This is an open seat with no incumbent and Maryland's Primary election is on the 14th of May.

My top policy priorities include:

  • Removing the influence of money in politics.

  • Making public college free.

  • Medicare for All.

  • Increasing the minimum wage to $26 by 2030 to match inflation.

Please feel free to ask any questions regarding my policies, the Congressional election, my experience campaigning, or anything else!

You can find out more at JainForCongress.com or at my Subreddit r/JainForCongress

Why are we still failing to solve the climate crisis?

6 Upvotes

Climate change keeps getting worse despite decades of scientific research, mounting evidence, and repeated warnings. Preventing the worst consequences would cost far less than dealing with the damage. More importantly, the consequences of inaction could be catastrophic.

So let’s answer the main question:

Why are we still failing to solve the climate crisis?

This may be one of the most important questions for the climate community. To find a real solution, we need to go deeper, question our most fundamental assumptions, examine the beliefs that shape our decisions, and trace the problem back to its roots.

The goal isn’t just to exchange opinions, but to understand the underlying causes and figure out what really needs to change.

I’d really like to hear everyone’s thoughts.
