- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary.

It’s only illegal if he goes to prison.
This is like a reverse-Mamdani. All the pieces are in place to do the right thing by his constituents, but he instead tries his damndest to eliminate it
Has anyone tried to follow the money to see which billionaire gets the most benefit or is it just Trump's dislike of Green power.
Oil companies, and their trade groups are neck deep in all of this. Exxon, Chevron, BP, Royal Dutch, Total, Eni, I forget the rest. They've trade groups that hire influence operations all over social media, lobbyists, they commission studies to work backwards from their desired goal, and everything else.
I forget the windfall they've had from the higher oil prices, but it's huge. Plus refiners increased their margins for distillates, like diesal and gasoline, from 15 percent to 100 percent per a reuters article a month back I can't find now but reuters has referenced in other successive articles.
I say just start killing them until it gets fixed. world gets better until they stop making the world worse, everybody wins.
Just the fossil fuel industry generally.
Apparently lowering energy bills is only a priority until the solution involves solar panels. Congress approves the funding, communities stand to benefit, a court orders its release, and the EPA still won’t pay. At this point, the sunshine isn’t the thing being blocked: it’s basic accountability.
Apparently lowering energy bills is ... a priority
I see no evidence of this.

Or wind turbines or any other renewables. Can't have competition lowering the profitability of the fossil fuel barons sponsoring the kakistocracy.
nothing will improve until they and their renfields are killed.
True. Great reference btw, fits perfectly! 😘👌🏼
they just need to be killed. nothing else is going to fix the problem.
Weird that this hasn't had a run in the news?
I hereby sentence him to APA Lawsuit.
Trump's continuing middle finger. 🖕
I got a pair of metal shears to help with that issue.
