A second Trump administration would be expected to shred climate polices. California officials are devising ways to insulate its environmental regulations.
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…
I think there are two good reasons to ignore what happened in Biden admin.
First, Harris is running, and despite her current platform she’s likely to do much better on this, as per https://heated.world/p/when-kamala-harris-sued-obama-over
Second, even under Biden, this was forced, see https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/28/climate/biden-drilling-leases.html
(Kinda odd how they’re now running as pro-fracking and how much they supported drilling when in fact they did so only because they were forced to, but hey whatever wins the votes I guess?)
