I assume most people know this, but seems important to point out basic truths at this moment in time. There is no energy emergency in the U.S. The U.S. is the world's top producer of oil and gas at the moment, and the top exporter of gas, and U.S. oil and gas producers are making record profits.
Who should pick up the tab for the billions of dollars in damages from these deadly fires in LA? The fossil fuel industry who lied about climate change for decades, that's who.
