Who is Leonard Leo? He's a lawyer, but he's never argued a case in court. He's never held elected office.
But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority.

@ProPublica The world needs more fossil fuels, not less. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/678856/fossil-future-by-alex-epstein/ Fossil fuels provide cheap, abundant energy that enables services that save lives, such as medical refrigerators, air conditioning, heating, long-range transportation of goods and services, etc., etc.
