Back the drone technology deal with Ukraine and stop blocking renewable energy projects. These aren't partisan asks — they're about keeping America competitive, solvent, and secure. Dragging your feet on both fronts is costing us strategically and economically.
The math on energy is brutal: solar, wind, and battery storage are now the cheapest electricity sources available, and coal is completely unviable without government life support. Spending $700 million in wartime authority funds to prop up coal while blocking renewables isn't an energy policy — it's a subsidy to donors at the public's expense. Meanwhile, Ukraine's drone superiority is reshaping modern warfare in real time. We're still buying $4 million Patriot missiles to shoot down $35,000 drones. That's not strength — that's a racket that benefits legacy defense contractors, not American security.
The lesson from Ukraine is clear, and our own military analysts aren't mystified by it — they're frustrated. Giant battleships and coal plants are monuments to a past that no longer exists. The future is drones and renewables. Get on the right side of this.
