Hi David, I was looking for a place to post this question, I know this isn't neccesarily the right place, but here goes: It would be interesting, motivating and empowering to know how much of right wing funding comes directly or indirectly from fossil fuel interests. Imagine is we could defund the right wing by simply buying an electric car or putting up solar panels or insisting on 100% fossil fuel free electricity? I suspect the number is in region of 20~30%. Here's the cool part though. The various legs of the right wing are mutually supporting. For example, Evangelism is one leg with lots of funding but without the support of the rest of the right wing it would just a be a political wilderness. If we progressives can knock out one leg of funding, the whole riight wing edifice could come tumbling down.
It's a huge research project and I have no idea where to begin but do you think it's a topic that dovetails in with your research? You may already have some of the answers from the other topics you research.
Hey there! Love your work and just became a subscriber! Am consuming a lot of your stuff over the holidays! Wondering if you saw this study out of Austin on electrifying last mile transportation? Would love your take / analysis / summary of it
All the money goes to Canary. RMI started Canary & still offers it some admin & fundraising support, but Canary is editorially independent & will, if all goes well, be financially independent as well.

Hm, that appears to be a donation through RMI, which I already have a monthly donation to. Is Canary basically a subsidiary or project of RMI?

Cool, I'll add a separate Canary "subscription".
