Three years ago, Joe Biden promised to “deliver a whole-of-government approach to the climate crisis.” Part of that approach included “making half of all new cars electric by 2030.”
Good news: The courts will have more power. Bad news: Same as the good news.
Maybe I'm just in one of my sourpuss moods, but the real problem here is not how the power gets divided; it's that the government has too much power, period. And it's not being used for "the betterment of the people." It's being used to tell you how you must live your life. The federal government now is basically a gigantic, hellscape version of the Homeowers Association, or the local Busybody Consortium that wants speed bumps every 200 feet on your street.
I don't know for sure how much of this "climate crisis" is just made up. Maybe some of it is true. The thing I do know is that it's being used as a no-growth cudgel against the United States for the same reason this "crisis" or this other "crisis" gets exploited: It's death by a thousand annoyances.
Paul great points all, thanks for another excellent piece. But I find myself nodding in total agreement with William's reply. And to his point on "Power" I would go further and assert that Corrupt Power across the political board is the main driver here. For an instance of corruption, Climate Change claims oceans will rise due to man's irresponsibility, but I have personal verification that the oceans on the shores of Cape Cod and Florida--all sides of the peninsula--are not rising enough to be measured by any means.

Great. Paul's usual subtle and right-on analysis. Jim Dueholm
