This is no surprise. US politicians serve their donors, not the public. And their donors are fossil carbon vendors.
Best case: by fiddling with wording on web sites, the good people in the various federal agencies are making the politicians’ donors think they’re getting what they bought and paid for, while they keep trying to do the right thing under the radar.
At any rate, lamenting that the US government isn’t helping with the energy transition is a waste of emotional energy. That government is not doing that. It’s futile to expect them to. The rest of us need to get on with it.
