In bio-evolutionary terms, the ascendance of Kamala Harris is a transformative moment in human evolution. The majority of the human race is female… and other than caucasian.
A male of color has been President of the United States. A female Prime Minister of Germany, Europe’s dominant power, commanded Earth’s fourth-largest economy… and turned it away from nuclear power.
Females have led ancient China when it was already Earth’s most populous nation. A woman has recently led India, the world’s second.
But after an eon of white male domination, the human race now stands at the brink of elevating a woman of color to be our species’ primal leader. Shirley Chisholm said in 1972 that the resistance against her becoming president as a woman was far stronger than as a black person. In 2016, Hillary Clinton beat a quintessential white male abuser by 3 million votes… but still he became president.
In 2024, as Trump’s authoritarian dementia deepens, he embodies a Bannonite Crusade of archetypal white “Christian” men terrified of being “replaced” by strong women, especially those of color. They’re hugely financed by white male King CONG (Coal, Oil, Nukes and Gas) billionaires terrified of losing their energy dominance to a nature-based Solartopian revolution. Angela Merkel opened that door with the shut-down of ALL Germany’s 19 atomic reactors.
Here the latest Pew polls show 58% US support for more nuke power, versus 72% for more wind turbines and 78% for more solar. A strong majority of men support nukes while a majority of women oppose them. Female support for renewables vastly overpowers that of men.
In 1994, Indigenous women led a grassroots uprising against radioactive waste being stored at two atomic reactors on Prairie Island, in the middle of the Mississippi River. They forced the Minnesota legislature to mandate 825 megawatts of wind power, birthing America’s utility-scale renewables industry.
Today California, the US, China and the world as a whole get far more usable electricity from renewables than from nukes. Small mythological reactors being pushed by America’s billionaire tech buddies can’t come on line before 2030…are set to assault our planet with carbon, heat and radiation… and can’t compete with renewables, which will create far more jobs.
So Minnesota’s current governor and his evolutionary running mate must build on the epic, fast advancing success of Solartopian technologies to power Mother Earth’s post-nuclear matriarchy.
Our species’ survival depends on it.
