"universal and free electric service is the floor if we want to keep the green transition going"

Example: where wet bulb temperatures are the new normal, air conditioning is as vital as air and water because you will literally die without cooling. "You can buy all the electricity you can afford" is not good enough.
That’s a very United States centric outlook. Most other Americans on the continent (north and south) also consider themselves Americans. Here in Colombia they call those of us from the US “estadounidenses” which basically translate as unitedstates-ian.
Just FYI I'm not American, I'm Canadian.
I would never consider myself to be American, because I don't really view the americas as one large social group.
North America and South America don't speak the same primary language, use similar currencies, or have similar cultural values. However most South American countries are similar, just like North Americans are to each other.
If I listed in increasing size the areas i inhabit, it would be Canada, North America, Earth.
It's like how we generally refer to Europe and Asia separately, not typically Eurasia.
