SMART MOVE NEEDS COSMIC INTERVENTON
An appropiate reaction to power industry comments although likely not enough to undo the damage of Clean Powef Plan 2 (CPP2) as originally proposed. Not enough refers to what remains both in terms of legality & its impact on 2024 election. To be legal(IMO) there must be a greater than de minimus benefit to climate, the chances of demonstrating that is 0. As for the election, in 2016 the Obama EPA’s War on Coal via CPP1 (subsequently nixed by SC) is credibly linked (Krugman NYT) to TRUMP45. Today, CPP2 known as the War of Fossil Fuels (even as modified) could deliver TRUMP47. The same 46 electoral college votes (wi, mi & pa) that did 45 could do 47.
Read the posted article if are you are interested in rehashed political BS from Senator Sheldon Whitehoue( D,RI) updating his enabling reckless 2016 rhetoric for 45. Yes his updates to enable 47 are unfortunately a done deal, the damage can’t be reversed. Let’s hope for Cosmic Intervention!
