If a president can “demolish years of climate action in days” did you ever have any real climate action?


Bloomberg (3/26/25) op-ed: "We’ve long known President Donald Trump is a climate-change denier. And we knew that, during last year’s campaign, Trump promised to make the dreams of fossil-fuel tycoons reality if they bankrolled his candidacy. But nothing could have prepared us for the breadth or intensity of the assault on climate action that Trump has unleashed during his first months back in office. There’s a chance you’ve seen one or 20 news reports in recent weeks detailing some of this activity. Far more likely is that you don’t even know the half of it...Every agency with any connection to the climate (meaning basically all of them) has been involved, from the Environmental Protection Agency to the Defense Department. International cooperation by NASA scientists, UN diplomats and more has been forbidden, and Trump appointees are meddling in state and local efforts to manage their own environments. Elon Musk’s crew, intent on dismantling the apparatus of government, has frozen research and funding and put vital expertise on the street...Every agency with any connection to the climate (meaning basically all of them) has been involved, from the Environmental Protection Agency to the Defense Department."

"The price of energy matters — expensive energy shrinks opportunity! A low energy society is poor; a highly energized society can bring health, wealth, and opportunity for all American citizens."

Alaskan tribes support Trump's reopening of Alaska for energy and minerals. 


Daily Caller (3/26/25) reports: "Alaska Natives celebrated the Department of the Interior’s (DOI) decision to reinstate leasing and expansion for Alaska’s oil and gas, community leaders told the Daily Caller News Foundation. DOI announced Thursday that DOI Secretary Doug Burgum is 'taking immediate steps to unleash Alaska’s untapped natural resource potential and support President Donald Trump’s vision of American Energy Dominance,' through reopening oil drilling in areas that the Biden administration had previously moved to shut down. Native community leaders in Alaska told the DCNF that the DOI under the Trump administration has taken a step in a 'favorable' direction. 'It’s cautious optimism,' Nagruk Harcharek, president of Voice of the Arctic Iñupiat, (VOICE) a nonprofit organization that represents 21 different Native American corporations and communities in Alaska, told the DCNF. 'We feel like we’re going to be able to get some things done with a more favorable administration, but we’re also being careful about it because we don’t want to threaten that cultural base and lifestyle that we rely on every day.'"

Administrator Zeldin is on the right track to save your family from inflation.


Daily Signal (3/26/25) op-ed: "U.S. inflation fell last month, with core prices at their lowest level in four years...Inflation will also likely decline thanks to President Donald Trump’s herculean deregulation efforts. The White House estimates that already since the start of the second Trump administration, Americans are saving $180 billion in regulatory costs—$2,100 for a family of four...The Trump administration estimates that 72% of that Biden regulatory burden ($1.3 trillion or $15,457 per family of four) came from rules at the Environmental Protection Agency. Under the Biden regime, the EPA slapped on several draconian Green New Deal measures...Even after the flurry of initial executive orders from Trump after his inauguration, this month, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced even greater regulatory reforms...The Institute for Energy Research noted this would entail reviewing 31 of the costliest regulations EPA regulators imposed—with the intent of reversing them. These regulations include backdoor electric vehicle mandates, the greenhouse gas endangerment finding, the Clean Power Plan, the social cost of carbon, and the mercury and air toxicity standards."

Looks like it's back to school for the hooky squad.


CNN (3/24/25) reports: "The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up a long-shot appeal from a group of minors who have for years been attempting to force the federal government to address climate change. Filed by 21 children and teenagers in 2015, the lawsuit alleged that the federal government’s energy policies unconstitutionally deprived them of their 'fundamental rights to life, liberty, personal security, dignity, bodily integrity, and their cultural and religious practices.' The group has repeatedly lost in federal courts and the question for the justices was a procedural issue dealing with whether the group had established standing to sue. The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the group does not and it had ordered a federal district court to dismiss the case."
