I still can't believe members of Congress will allow him to kill jobs in their districts, but that is what is happening.
How we went from the R position on energy being “all of the above” to being actively hostile to the cheapest forms of electricity is a mystery to me.
There was an R from Georgia who wrote to EPA saying they should adopt a clean air standard because it might interfere with a new EV manufacturing plant in his district.
Now they are killing both the clean air standard and the tax credits and standards that encouraged EVs.
