The oil industry is absolutely frothing at the mouth for a second Trump term. They literally have a plan written out to undo climate progress. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Under the group’s plans, Biden climate measures would be replaced by new executive orders that promote fossil fuel production and lift a federal pause on the construction of massive infrastructure to export liquefied natural gas. Federal rules that require climate considerations to be taken into account for major infrastructure projects would be rewritten. That includes eliminating the Public Lands Rule, which reshuffled priorities involving federal land away from drilling and toward landscape and habitat protection.
The plans were drawn up by the American Exploration and Production Council, or AXPC, a group of 30 mostly independent oil and gas producers, including several major oil companies. They reveal a comprehensive industry effort to reverse climate initiatives advanced during nearly four years of Democratic leadership. At the same time, the documents contain confidential data showing that industry’s voluntary initiatives to cut emissions have fallen short.

One of the more important issues that is woefully under publicized in this election.

Fair. But I’m also 100% willing to die on the hill of Democrats will do 90% of the same or do nothing to prevent the majority of the alleged Trump plan happening.

Exactly. The entire Project 2025 is a climate catastrophe.
