Thank you for sharing this information, which is easy to miss or disregard with all the other horrendous actions of this administration. They also stopped renewable energy projects initiated by the Biden administration and private sector businesses.

This administration doesn't give a #@$% about people. They only care about making money 💰 That's what this is all about! Giving BIG COAL free reign, gas and oil baboons more $$$$$. As though any of these entities need more!

They don't care about our children, especially after they've taken their first breath! They're quick to condemn abortion and birth control, "it kills our babies " but once that child is born, they wash their hands!!!

Isn't it RUMP who screams "whatever happened to global warming " whenever this country experiences a cold spell!!! WHAT AN IDIOT! We're just shitting in our own nest!!!!

Thank you again, Mary for another great post.

We’ve voluntarily exited the global clean tech race and handed the 21st century to China for...what? Janis was right, it just took a while: "Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose"

And good luck selling gas-guzzling-polluting vehicles outside the US.

I’m almost 70 and don’t drive much but this news immediately made me think about trading my newish, low-mileage, loan-free vehicle for a new hybrid. A symbolic flip of the bird even though I know fully that it would be the tiniest drop in the bucket. And not one fossil—fuel exec or politician would notice. But I might sleep better.

I went full EV late last year

EV would be nice but I’m told I need to upgrade electric first. Which costs as much as the vehicle or more depending on the surprises my 100y/o house offers up.

The ignorance, arrogance and recklessness of this administration is unfathomable. We all know that the orange obscenity's brain is so far gone that he has no understanding of the damage this is doing for future generations, but what about the members of this administration that are currently begetting offspring that will populate the planet in future years. Will theyvbe scions of a toxic wasteland There is no such thing as 'valet breathing'

Their addiction to $$$, elitism, & power whispers--"It will never happen to me & mine."

And yet Peter Thiel considers government action to control greenhouse gases and any attempt to mitigate climate change such a tyrannical horror equivalent to the End Times that he has called Greta Thuneberg the antichrist due to her activism for public action to save our planet. In his twisted mind that makes her responsible for any such future resulting tyranny by government which to him is Armageddon. And this man's surrogate is a heartbeat from the most powerful position in the world now held by a man who is already causing real future calamity.

“ it is a social signal about what is real and what matters”…from our government…befores and afters …are important, paying attention nis much better than paying the price or act thereof….

Eloquent writing hands down thank you. The gift of wording uniquely placed and correct is best.

This administration wants you to accept their game of ‘pretend’…or you’ll be sorry they add and might follow through on …..but there are sooooo many already sorry…in jail, careers ruined, money lost, people dead and double down standards will accelerate that..watch. Because they can’t and obviously WE don’t have the ability to vote to..undo..? Lord ! Lord!

But it’s not pretend …it’s calculated , deceiving, cruel, and yes they’re going to be so rich not “we’re” in the sense you’d ASSUMED.

People are waking up…the lesson is uncovered…and much,many, all who care need to be present and count ..the ticking of ‘too late’ , whether the weather, the debt, the lives, the excuse IT ALL COUNTS…
