“But why isn’t he using the office to directly attack projects”
Meanwhile EOs blocking the LA LNG export facilities and all that shit.
“But the offshore permitting reform concession he made for Manchin”
That’s Manchin’s fault, not his, it was needed to pass the bill. But on top of that, nearly every policy wonk will beat the drum all day and every day that this exact kind of major permitting reform is necessary to make wind work, and that this kind of permitting likely benefits wind better than drilling especially considering that the drilling products are rapidly becoming uncompetitive compared to renewables (even ignoring the political difference between them).
“OK, yeah, he’s done a lot, but it isn’t enough!”
Yeah, so says his own platform. His own cabinet. His own DOE. But the IRA also has a plan here; it builds HUGE constituencies in the renewable sector who will in the future offer political capital to further reforms.
I’m so tired of the “leftist” bothsiders that have largely taken over spaces like these with their negativity, despair, and uselessness.
