Bring on more brown outs in the rural communites! We live randomly not having electricity when it's summer time and 100 degrees.

- the return of Schedule F, which will turn tens of thousands of career civil servants (including scientists and others working on climate) into political appointees

- rollback of the (nonexistent) electric vehicle mandate, among a handful of other EV-related actions that will take some rulemaking to implement

- a "national energy emergency" and a directive to support domestic mining of critical minerals

Killing the planet and dragging us all down with them

A reminder that his now 18 year grudge against wind energy has nothing to do with birds, cancer or anything else like that. It has to do with the views from his golf course in Scotland. 👇

frostysno03.bsky.social•41 days ago

Now I get it! Thank you so much! I never did understand his ridiculous obsession with wind fans!

maudi63.bsky.social•41 days ago

He never lets a grudge go and everything is for purely selfish reasons. He just lies to cover it up. Note you never hear the media mention why, like the Daily Beast did in that article from a long time ago. They just go along with it now. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The new administration's interest in critical minerals (mentioned next by heatmap news) will be worth tracking since they're valuable but processing them generates pollution that is very hard to manage.

Spiteful and evil.

Why is he so afraid of windmills?

piglet42.bsky.social•41 days ago

Are wind energy permits a federal matter? All those wind mills in Texas for example?

goodjillian.bsky.social•41 days ago

@jael.bsky.social is the expert on that. From her piece:

piglet42.bsky.social•41 days ago

Thanks. Next question is of course whether an Executive Order can do this. Presumably there is a legal process how these permits are granted.

Of course, the courts forced Biden to grant oil drilling permits...

Also, we'll now find out whether an industry employing 130k workers in the US can be wiped out without repercussions by the party of "the economy".
