Never a word from the Chicken Littles about the pollution in China, the highest in the world, over twice that of the U.S. France is squeaky clean by comparison, yet they’re getting taxed into poverty because of it.
The Paris Agreement is the cause celebre now giving Macron huge problems.
Since entering office, Pres Trump reversed many of Obama’s regulatory mandates that hurt fossil fuels and assisted renewable energy in the marketplace. Trump signed a sweeping executive order in late March at the Environmental Protection Agency that rescinded six of Obama’s climate change executive orders.“
Trump's Exec/Order represents a clear difference between how Trump and former President Barack Obama view the role the United States plays in combating climate change,” CNN reported at the time. The Obama administration became a big “hedge fund” trying to finance and promote renewable energy technologies at any cost, Thomas Pyle, president of the libertarian Institute for Energy Research, told TheDCNF. “The entire eight years of Obama, the Department of Energy was basically a hedge fund — and a bad one — for renewable energy for wind, solar and biofuels,” he said.
Critics of Obama’s renewable energy agenda believe it’s likely a President Hillary would have doubled down on Obama’s renewable energy initiatives.
“If Hillary Clinton had won, then we would have 4-8 more years of the Obama trajectory. Everything labeled ‘progressive energy policy’ would have just ramped up,” Marlo Lewis Jr., a senior fellow at the free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute, told TheDCNF. “So the market would have been even more tilted in favor of so-called ‘green energy companies.
President Trump has basically changed the direction,” he said. (hat tip The Daily Caller report)
