1. This is something I've been saying for 25 years, but it's hard to get many people to listen. What counts is not the new energy sources you add, but the old ones you retire. Unfortunately it's politically easier to build renewables than to shutter fossil fuels.🧵

It really is remarkable that we have an opportunity to avert climate disaster and it is also the smart economic choice.
That hasn't always been the case.
Now it is.
Lower energy costs, lower health costs and huge averted climate damages.
And yet still, we let the greedheads win.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

Q: What was the thinking on the call for Tehran to evacuate? Is there a threat or incoming?
TRUMP: No not at all. I want people to be safe. And that's always possible. A thing like that could happen.
