Climate change comes to Duluth — one of America’s 'climate refuge cities'
Stephanie Hemphill for GreenBiz; June 1, 2020.

I'm not seeing anything in here that makes the city a good candidate for being a "climate refuge" city, other than the fact that it had been previously destroyed by Democrat policies so there's open space and empty buildings that can be occupied...

"Not only that, but Duluth’s population is well below its peak in the 1960s, when the steel plant and other industries employed many workers, so there is room and infrastructure for more people."

10-15% of their energy is produced by coal.


But I'm all for people making change if the majority of the city support it... we'll see what they're able to come up with. Right now, there's not a lot going on except for making rugged pants and work clothes.

Once cities reach a certain size, don't they all usually go leftist?

No, not always. There are a lot of big cities that have Republican leadership. You have Miami, Fresno, Fort Worth, Tulsa, etc... there's a few... but I can't really think of them. I would say it's mostly Democrat... probably 1/3rd of the big cities are Republican.

Hmmm, I wonder why Hawaii isn't on the list.

Probably for the same reason as Cuba.
