Part of that might be a result of much of the population not being tuned in to factual media. The right-wing outlets do a cover-for-30-seconds approach to any bad thing Trump does.

In particular, they're talking on Fox about the death penalty for Jack Smith, though the WaPo doesn't deign to tell us that.

In general, I'm not a huge fan of the LCFS as an approach; it effectively requires blending biofuels into gasoline and diesel. This has some serious scale limits and doesn't cut emissions as much as getting people to not burn stuff in the first place.

 

John Podesta, President Biden’s clean energy adviser, said agencies were racing to deliver money from the 2022 climate law before Donald Trump arrives.

 

President-elect Donald J. Trump’s transition team for climate and the environment is considering relocating the E.P.A. out of Washington and other drastic changes.

 

Whether this is effective at all depends very much on who wins the House. If Republicans win, they can use the Congressional Review Act to instantly wipe any regulation that Biden put in place in the last few months. If the Democrats win there, legally rescinding regulations like this will take years.

Sorry, but accelerationism only gets us a lasting fascism. It doesn't get us the kid of stable world where people can substitute wind and solar for fossil fuels

They covered Project 2025 before the election, including the ties Trump's circle has to it.

This is generally not a great way to do it, since the emissions largely coming from fossil fuel burning. Fewer people doesn't help much if we burn even more.

In practice, those rules made it easier to have centrist primary challenges to Democrats in congress, rather than left-wing ones.
