Ever since we were kids they told us what you get on Christmas when you're bad. Well, the states and countries that ignored all the warnings that solar, wind and all-electric technonlogies aren't ready yet won't have to wait until December to learn their lesson. Unfortunately everybody pays the price for their getting coal this year. But at least Lucy and Benji have some good news to go along with the bad this week. The Washington Post has had to acknowledge what even semi-serious climate activists have known for years, and we can easily point to the states which know what they're doing.
