      What even was her answer? I feel like I entered a fugue state, I remember the question but I don’t remember either person answering about climate.

        It was a bunch of rambling nonsense but in the word salad, she implied that natural gas was a renewable energy source and said something along the lines of the US building out renewable energy and manufacturing (which helps, somehow?)

          implied that natural gas was a renewable energy source

            It’s absolutely bonkers. If the moderators were actually cool instead of your standard centrist corporate invertebrates, they would’ve asked if the candidates have any idea what 2 C warming would do to the United States. I would really love to see what the “at least she’s better than Trump” crowd would do with being forced to accept that their preferred candidate had no plan, either.
