Unfortunately that leads to a sliding scale. One court says you can't remove something because it's in the Constitution, the next court allows that same entry to be bypassed by interpreting it in a way that isn't in the Constitution, the third interprets it completely differently.

That's not such a bad thing either.
Renewable energy should be subsidized for any home owner/apartment building/business which has somewhere to put solar panels or wind turbines to augment the grid locally. Budget for battery backups and you have a solution for the majority of use cases. Next, why not make EVs an even better proposition than they currently are? Increase the number of level DCFC stations, put level 2 charging everywhere it's feasible, including restaurants, the library, all public buildings, grocery stores. Battery size can be reduced if you can charge literally everywhere you go. Your third point with beef. Well, doctors have been saying for decades not to eat so much red meat. Now there's a climate excuse for being able to replace all those burger chains with something healthier.
Having driven a Nissan Versa, they aren't fun on the freeway, country roads or anywhere you'd be around anything the size of a standard SUV or current truck.

It's quite unfortunate for those too poor to move or who otherwise have no choice.
I participate where I feel I'll be of value in some way, lurk when something is interesting but I have nothing to add to the conversation and very rarely create
Honestly, I prefer it over a few of the others. That doesn't make it good though. I'd much prefer to get everyone I know on to something more open and free like Matrix, wire, etc.
