Conservative groups have crafted a plan for demolishing the federal government’s efforts to counter climate change — and it wouldn’t stop with President Joe Biden’s policies.
The 920-page blueprint, whose hundreds of authors include former Trump administration officials, would go far beyond past GOP efforts to slash environmental agencies’ budgets or oust “deep state” employees.
Called Project 2025, it would block the expansion of the electrical grid for wind and solar energy; slash funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s environmental justice office; shutter the Energy Department’s renewable energy offices; prevent states from adopting California’s car pollution standards; and delegate more regulation of polluting industries to Republican state officials.
Some of them know and just don’t care because they’re getting paid now and who cares about tomorrow? That’s someone else’s problem. The evangelicals among them think that 1) god gave them explicit permission to have “dominion” (do whatever the fuck they want to) and 2) it doesn’t matter anyway because they’re going to be in heaven when the shit hits the fan.
