#POTUS' long list of executive orders on energy/climate on first day: Exit Paris, not only supporting more fossil fuels, also putting barriers to renewables. Really stupid is roll back of the energy efficiency standards for appliances which save everybody money.

Not good news for climate and international cooperation. But so far no other country has announced to leave. Renewable revolution goes on

Cynical
Executive order claims US does not have enough energy. But US has one of the highest energy use per capita. Energy shortage is nowhere near
Should rather declare climate emergency

Nicht gut! Aber vielleicht nicht so schlimm wie man auf den ersten Blick denken könnte. Trump schadet damit Amerika.
