This is such dumb move though. Even if you don't care about climate this is an opportunity for US to put itself as a leader in a new field, which no matter what US will do, will be desirable by other countries (especially ones that need to purchase oil). By doing this, he is essentially giving all that edge to China.
- You seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that the well-being of the country is of any concern to him?
  
  Honestly, looking from the outside on US politics I have a hard time remembering a presidential candidate, besides Bernie Sanders, that seem to care for the average people living in the US.

We can’t tolerate transitioning energy. Energy is deterministically male or female at conception.

I hate these articles that all try to infer what that geriatric orange piece of shit does, and downplay it at that. They push or do some stupid bullshit ideas that SHOULDN'T work for a multitude of reasons, be them legal or moral. If it works, then he wins immediately. If it doesn't, then he back pedals, people try to tell you that it's not really what he means, but then tries again later after the heat dies down until he gets his way.
- This is Project 2025 material. Geriatric orange just signed the papers.
- "experts" has gotten to be just as bad as "slam".

We need MOAR energy production. Tf is he doing? Are eggs cheaper now? Is that the joke? I bought a few cartons on sale then froze them so I have no concept of egg prices at this point...
- I watched a clip where reporter asked him how he plans to reduce prices of groceries. His first response was that it isn't easy, but then added that increasing energy production the prices will go down.
  Perhaps, he believes that? Although, given the first response I think he probably doesn't.
- It's a club to them, not a country. None of these people care about the actual country and people in it.

Time for Climate activists to take a page from the Trump book and bring the cases in jurisdictions with sympathetic judges. Get injections flying left right and center.
