Why is mainstream media missing this? I like to think I keep up pretty well, but I completely missed the fossil-fueled fleet/Repubs not confirming Biden's appointees scenario. All we can hope for is that the project is so herculean there's enough time to ameliorate.

Herculean? Think Merrick Garland's nomination to the Supreme Court. The mainstream media covers what's flashy and sells, sometimes with very misleading headlines (Biden to Widen No-Knock Warrants - Body of story: He's going to start banning it from various Federal depts. that have law enforcement duties.) I suspect your reply was a dig at the MSM, so you no doubt already know that to get a view of how the whole government machine actually operates, look to Politico, The Guardian, Mother Jones, KOS and Daily Beast. There is a lot of dross in the latter two, but occasionally the big stories break there first and as of late, they carry Thom's daily missives.
