Section 3.4 - Q2 - What Does Project 2025 Say?

“There has been a reinstitution of unachievable standards designed to aid in the “transition” away from politically disfavored industries and technologies and toward the Biden Administration’s preferred alternatives. This approach is most obvious in the Biden Administration’s assault on the energy sector as the Administration uses its regulatory might to make coal, oil, and natural gas operations very expensive and increasingly inaccessible while forcing the economy to build out and rely on unreliable renewables.”

Context:

I go into painstaking detail in Section 3.3 with regard to how renewables actually work, so I won’t repeat myself here.

Is the Biden administration making coal, oil, and natural gas operations expensive and inaccessible? No. In fact, U.S. oil production is at an all-time high under Joe Biden. It is true, however, that having to comply with environmental regulations does cost fossil fuel industries money. Hence the Heritage Foundation’s push for deregulation. They’re being pushed by the oil industry. In fact, Trump attempted to bribe 20 heads of the fossil fuel industry with deregulation and tax favors in exchange for a billion dollars for himself.

“The totality of…Trump, the fossil-fuel industry and a [conservative thinktank] Heritage Foundation blueprint advocate will put a dagger through efforts to avoid catastrophic warming,” said Joe Romm, a senior research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media.

“Trump promises to undo every constraint on global warming. Trump has pushed more lies and disinformation about climate change than anyone ever has.”
