“Devastating”: #Trump #EPA to Scrap Landmark #Climate Finding in Pro-#FossilFuel #Deregulatory Push
#DemocracyNow, February 11, 2026
"In a victory for the fossil fuel industry, a set of Obama-era rules that required the federal government to regulate the emissions of six #GreenhouseGases is being reversed by the Trump administration. The changes would undo the legal basis of the fight against global warming, as well as remove #industrial reporting obligations and roll back #emissions standards for cars and trucks. Environmental engineer Gretchen Goldman helped author those emission standards while working for the Department of Transportation under the Biden administration. Now as the president of the #UnionOfConcernedScientists, she says their repeal will not only increase what drivers pay at the pump but also set U.S. innovation back on the world stage. 'We’re really seeing the abdication of U.S. leadership on climate, and that has huge implications, both for our immediate ability to reduce heat-trapping emissions globally … but also in terms of our standing and contribution in the world.' "

The #FossilFuel folks are terrified by the increasing efficiency of #GreenEnergy. They have significant investments in underground assets that are yet to be exploited. The challenge is to keep those assets just where they are.
These #petrogarchs seem to believe they are exempt from the consequences of their rapacious greed and they have an alternative to planetary collapse
