Joe, how are the grandkids? I know you have four: Kelsey, Madeline, Chloe and Jack.

You know, coal and oil aren’t helping us any more. They’re hurting us now. They are destroying the climate.

No, WE are destroying the climate. And yes, West Virginia is destroying the climate.

You know, we are having more and more record breaking heatwaves, storms and mudslides. People lives are being destroyed. People are being killed.

And it’s only gonna get worse. And for your grandchildren? I shudder to think.

Why don’t you talk this over with your daughter and with Kelsey, Madeline, Chloe and Jack. Tell them that you changed your mind and supported Biden’s budget bill—but demanded he move faster and more forcefully to slash CO2 emissions and speed adaptation of clean energy.

Tell them you did that because you love your children and grandchildren.

Or you can tell them to go to hell. That because you decided you wouldn’t fight for them, they’ll probably literally burn.

I can’t chose for you. But I suggest you choose wisely.
