I noticed that, Bob. Thanks for putting your prestige behind a commonsense observation. Unfortunately the odds of paralyzing acts of Congress with corporate backed lawsuits presented through made-for-purpose "public interest" foundations and think tanks are increasing every day. Any remedies for that problem you might suggest?

Remember: Trump asked oil execs at Mar-a-Lago for $1 billion for his campaign.

In return, Trump pledged to reverse environmental protections and cut their taxes.

The deal would net Big Oil $110 billion in tax breaks — 11,000% more than a $1 billion donation.

Utter corruption.
