Comment on Oil and Gas Billionaires Drum Up Dollars for Trump
silence7@slrpnk.net 4 months agoI’ve been around campaigns. It’s still a real slog.
What he’s been doing has been cutting US need to use fossil fuels. Here’s what we expect from the Inflation Reduction Act:
The result is that the US is exporting a big chunk of oil, instead of burning it. Not all that we need, but a part of what it takes to end it extraction and use, and something Trump would never have gotten us to.

Again, were talking about production, you keeping being up emissions.
How do you still think those are the same things?
We’ve legitimately had this discussion a dozen times now…
And that’s not even what’s happening, the actual line of emissions goes up when Bident took office, starts predicting at 2021, and they were immediately wrong…

Look at your graph. It predicts a massive decrease. And instead we actually saw further increase…
It’s literally and factually wrong.
What do you think it proves?

The bill passed in late 2021. Less than 1/10 of the money it allocates for decarbonization has been spent yet.
So no, you can’t judge its impact by what happened in the months immediately after passage.
