The legislated monies are guaranteed to the alternative energy sector of the USA. Those monies were legislated beginning with the Obama Administration after the Great Recession and additional appropriations on a continuing basis.
These monies do not belong to Trump’s cronies for whatever pie in the sky idea they have this week. By depriving the alternative energy sector of our economy Trump is creating his own emergency. It is political corruption as well as endangerment of life both within the borders of the USA and out.
President Obama promised at his first inauguration speech to be a President for all Americans. In his first budget bill after the Great Recession he made room for the fossil fuel industry. Natural Gas would see a place in the USA energy sector with a clear understanding all methane leaks would be contained.
I don’t really care to hear how the fossil fuel industry is injured when in fact they have injured generations of Americans and allies to a stable and livable Earth’s troposphere. In realizing the extent these programs are under attack it appears racism is dominating Trump’s preferences for energy as well. Many of the alternative energy programs and electric grid improvements began under a minority president.
On one hand Trump wants to replace jobs for citizens with computers. People don’t need electricity to work on the job. Computers require enormous amounts of energy, especially crypto currency. It is well known if Americans are becoming more and more dependent on computers the demand for electricity is high. That demand has to be satisfied by all forms of energy, especially wind and solar.
Trump and his cronies will not accept the fact Earth’s troposphere is heating because of anthropogenic pollution from fossil fuels. That is more than unfortunate, it is very dangerous.
