I don’t want political appointees from this administration deciding what is meritorious research. But I wouldn’t want political appointees from ANY administration deciding that. That would mark the end of basic research, research with long-term benefits, etc.

The institutions that protect our health and safety - CDC, EPA, etc. - are being deliberately destroyed in a manner that will be hard to undo.
Whether this is to boost favored industries, pandemic backlash, or because ideology trumps evidence, the outcome is the same. We will be less healthy.

We published a paper a while back, which is worth resurrecting - wind farms can yield hundreds of millions of dollars of health and climate benefits each year, as they displace polluting power plants.

The assault on wind is very similar to the assault on vaccines - ginning up evidence to support a desired policy that harms public health. Offshore wind is good for climate, air quality, and overall grid reliability.

We should acknowledge that MAGA and Trump’s victory were enabled by internet platforms whose business models reward fear and outrage. Dems had 8 yrs after FB enabled Trump and never had a floor vote in either chamber on a single bill that could possibly have addressed the harms. 🧵1/x
