The ghost of a living guy
Not long ago I wrote about Georgia and it raised the subject of Jimmy Carter, our last truly evangelical Christian president.
He has hovered around my mind like a shell around a peanut ever since.
When I was still pretty young, President Carter had solar panels set upon the white house roof. Being a scientist, he was concerned about global warming. He wanted the USA to be a world leader in turning social progress and industrial prosperity toward clean energy.
You all know what happened next. I am not going to go into the disastrous rise of deregulated, selfish, and profit-obsessed polluters who spewed misinformation like CO2 waste into our air, water, food, and soil.
