Krugman: Turning Our Back on Clean Energy. Why does MAGA hate the planet? Trump has gone to war against efforts to limit climate change and is imposing a “blockade” against wind and solar projects. We now live in a time in which US policy is shaped by sheer, naked corruption.
Solar and wind cost less. MAGA is bad at math. They should not be spending more to do less.

Dude, Did you not see that article before the election where he met with all the top oil CEO’s and said ”Give me $1B and I will get rid of all the Wind & Solar subsidies AND get rid of all kinds of pesky EPA regulations.” These are protecting the environment and hampering oil industry profits.
He doesn’t hate the planet, he LOVES the money!💵

This mentality was properly predicted by an American author **Cyril M. Kornbluth**
I remember reading that in the mid-80’s and even our history teacher telling us the American Way was headed for disaster just like Rome did, but would happen sooner.
Worth a read, it’s a short story, but I’ve seen this exactly happen from the 80’s through the 2020’s.

We don’t need to debate climate change with these people.
There are two issues that no one can debate.
1. Fossil fuels are a poison to all life on earth.
2. The Air we breathe is a scant 5 miles thick envelope around the earth. We are pumping poison into it.

Paul Krugman never cared about climate or planet when Biden tariffed EV at 100% and killed EV expansion in the US. Instead, he wrote multiple pieces to defend the indefensible.
Paul Krugman has no real commitment for fighting climate change, none whatsoever.

I like to believe that Trump believes in climate change, but doesn’t care. As long as he can help his fossil fuel cronies make a buck. MAGA on the other hand…….I don’t think they understand what’s going on

Trump policy will put the USA at severe and lasting damage

And for those dumb enough to still believe that climate change is a hoax, a better question might be “Why does MAGA hate America?” Because Trump’s policies are also driving up prices, wrecking the economy and ceding future global economic superpower status to China.
