A second Trump administration would be expected to shred climate polices. California officials are devising ways to insulate its environmental regulations.

      For sure, but it could be slightly less dire if a lot of states were able to somehow implement climate policy despite a Trump administration effort to maximize fossil fuel extraction and consumption.

        It’s all on California. It’s not just that a California is big, but they’re the only state allowed to define air pollution regulations. The rest of us can only choose between California or EPA. We’ll follow it if California can hold it together

        despite a Trump administration effort to maximize fossil fuel extraction and consumption.

        But why ignore that Bidens admin broke Trump’s production limits?

        Shipping tons and tons of coal to China to be burned there just makes it worse, because we use even more fossil fuels to ship it to China…
