Climate activists and energy bill
vendredi 25 septembre 2020 à 02:00Climate activists call for defeat of the Congressional Democrats' inadequate energy bill.
The article says that passing that bill would by a "Pyrrhic" victory, which is incorrect use of the word. "Pyrrhic" describes a victory won at such a great cost that you can't afford to win another. (King Pyrrhos of Epirus said that about his victory over Rome.) This bill would be, rather, a dummy victory.
The oil companies' conservation plans are also drastically inadequate.
