I agree, and I’ve got good news. California has multiple programs to aid in the upgrade to solar, like the DAC-SASH program, which will completely cover the cost in low-income areas, or the PACE financing program that lets you borrow the money against the house and pay it off over 30 years via additional property tax.
There’s more, but it’s a little weird that nobody else has brought this up at all.

That’s good then!
I don’t know if he has any hobbies besides getting angry at the news, but it’d help and give you two something to talk about that isn’t upsetting. I know you mentioned in another comment that he sees frivolity as a waste of potential, but maybe you could emphasize that he’s worked hard his whole life, and fun in retirement is supposed to be the reward for that?
What does he do for work? Maybe there’s a hobby that hits his dopamine the same way?

Yeah, but that’s just not going to work with the geography involved here, because there’s mountains to one side, and a stream to the other. The wildlife bridge is connecting two protected natural areas, which makes it perfect for wildlife, horrible for construction.
It wasn’t mentioned in the article, but I suspect there was also pressure to keep as much of the highway open for as long as possible. Putting in a tunnel, or changing the road to a bridge would close a major shipping route for months, whereas putting in an overpass can be done with staggered lane closures.
My parents were involved in a cult, and I never would have made it out if I didn’t have normies on the internet telling me that being in a mass marriage ceremony to Jesus at 17 was fucked up.

I’ve always heard that apartments are what you rent, and condos are what you buy. Besides, if the Republicans are on board, it’s because they see a path to fleece the little guy out of even more money.
