Come on ?
As much as common sense tells me to ignore you, I will make one more attempt at answering you, if it works out, you do NOT hit my ignore list (currently empty but am reconsidering the decision to leave it empty in the interest of seeing ALL opinions).
ACA (aka Obamacare) worthwhile effort though it should have been tweaked some BEFORE roll out. Interesting factoid, it was extensively modeled after the Massachusetts health care plan that Mitt Romney (a Republican) enacted during his tenure as Massachusetts Governor. Also worthy of note, even though Trump and the alt right criticized it, said that it would jack up premiums and cause insurers to remove themselves from the exchange as they tried to undermine it's implementation and it's continued existence, it was still viable until the day they managed to repeal most of the Affordable Care Act and replaced it with American Health Care Act.
Green energy initiative, It helped many citizens/business to become less dependent on our current energy grid (via grants, subsidies and tax incentives) by installing their own solar/wind energy generation systems. It also encouraged energy companies to add solar and/or wind energy solutions to their energy creation infrastructure. While there was some waste and some corruption, overall, it was and is something that needs to be done, the sooner we get it going on the better as our other energy generating sources are dependent on resources that are not infinite.
As another poster pointed out in another thread, there are hidden costs in other forms of energy generation that most people don't bother looking at, their main point pointed at nuclear. If we have a nuclear meltdown (don't fool yourself into thinking it can't/won't happen, it has more than once worldwide and even AT LEAST once here in America, recall 3 mile island?), Insurance companies will not cover a nuclear meltdown and so if another happens, the federal government will foot the bill for mediating the devestation and cleaning up the mess.
Even gas powered and coal powered plants require cooling, this cooling is done with water, that water gets quite hot, to reduce corrosion in the pipes, they add toxic chemicals to the cooling water which if not managed properly (like corporate America WOULDN'T manage toxic chemicals properly... oh wait, there have been many cases pointing out they DO have a tendency towards mismanagement of toxic chemicals, my bad), can and does seep into our drinking water. Would you like some hexavalent chromium (it is used to prevent corrosion in the cooling water pipes) in YOUR drinking water? Ever see that movie Erin Erin Brockovich, it wasn't a fictitious movie based on imagination, it was based on ACTUAL real life events. Of course in those incidents, the company pays but that is provided the lawsuit is won, they aren't all won and that also doesn't take into consideration that most people would rather not get cancer than get a settlement because they did.
Of course the alt right only focuses on the "bad" things that Democrats do WITHOUT EVER looking at the good things, they also like to alter the facts, exclude supportive facts, only introduce "facts" and theories that makes anything a Democrat does as pure waste, pure evil, immoral and anti-American. If you choose to get your information from the alt right, the least you should do is a bit of research and fact checking to get the facts straight, rather than just take them at their word for it, I do research and some fact checking on information I get from BOTH sides. It is obvious that those on the right refuse to do the same, I don't know how much those on the left do.
