a climate change report to the alaska legislature. so we have known about this for decades. we have not taken the action that we need to for decades, and now we're suffering the consequences because of that. so i think the logic that, you know, a, it's certainly helpful to have more money, more investment for this transition. but as we look at the global landscape right now, renewables, especially solar, is the cheapest form of energy that we've ever discovered as humanity, right? the scientists have done their job. we have the tools and technology in front of us . and what we need is the political will, and you know, we really need to be deploying these technologies at scale to d, carbonized our economy. or here's another comment from youtube and says, are they ready for another trump error? because biden will lose young voters, especially after going back on as promised to protect the climate. and i want to bring in one more video comment from our community. this is from j b j, the director of policy and advocacy. at the, in the, in

(john straley) we are in the archipelago of southeastern alaska, on baranof island in sitka, alaska. i love the fact that we live on a contiguous temperate rainforest. and i believe that it's one of the last great treasures on earth. (sophie fouron) john straley. poet and author, the untamed nature in alaksa have inspired both his poetry and crime novels. having settled on baranof some 35 years ago, this is his island. (john straley) this place on the outside of baranof is the ancestral home of the tlingit people of sitka. in the late 1700's, russians and aleut people came to harvest sea otters, and then the americans, british and spanish came. to this day, there are about 9000 people. the population in sitka, i believe, is still around 25% tlingit people. there is a coast guard base. there is a trouper academy, there are fish plants in sitka with transient workers from all over the world now. it's a relatively diverse community. (sophie fouron) it's hard to imagine, but sitka is actually the largest city in the united states by landmass. hello! (mim mcconnell) hi! - we'll have a lit
