Well, really, knowing the GOPe, they’ll probably cave
Will the GOP House halt action on climate change?
Climate change activists and experts fear that the United States may lose its momentum on cutting climate-change-causing greenhouse gases after the new Republican-majority House of Representatives takes control in January.
But, they say, if the Biden administration can protect its signature achievement — the Inflation Reduction Act, which will spend $369 billion over 10 years on deploying electric vehicles and clean energy — and swiftly enact new regulations on pollution from fossil fuels, the United States can meet its pledge to reduce carbon emissions by at least 50% from a 2005 baseline by the end of the decade.
Republican control “very likely means we’re at the end of climate legislating for the first term of the Biden administration,” Jamal Raad, executive director of Evergreen Action, a climate policy advocacy group, told Yahoo News. “Luckily, we’ve already passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which is the most bold and vast climate investment in American history.”
I have some recommendations. The House should pass legislation requiring Biden to only travel in EVs, to limit his flights to government business only, eliminating Biden’s trips to Delaware. Unless he wants to take the train. End the use of big gas guzzling SUVs for all Executive Office agency heads and advisors. EVs, the bus, trains, bikes. They aren’t smart enough to really put out that kind of bill, which will never pass the Senate, but, would highlight what climahypocrites Democrats are.
In an early sign of how the incoming Republican House majority will approach climate change, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday that the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis will be eliminated. Rep. Garret Graves, the Louisiana Republican who was his party’s highest-ranking member on the committee, said Republicans will focus their energy agenda on increasing U.S. fossil fuel production and exportation.
They really should pass legislation authorizing fast tracking construction of next gen refineries. But, dumping the climate scam committee is a good start.
This would seem to confirm the pre-election prediction of environmental activists that a Republican Congress would be uninterested in passing legislation to address the climate crisis. “I think the fact that every single Republican voted against the Inflation Reduction Act … tells you everything you need to know about where Republicans stand when it comes to climate change,” Tiernan Sittenfeld, senior vice president of government affairs at the League of Conservation Voters, told Yahoo News last month.
Well, yeah, it had nothing to do with inflation and everything to do with the climate scam and other far left priorities.
“House Republicans will fight to unleash American energy production, protect our energy security so that we are not reliant on hostile foreign nations, and ensure that our energy sources are clean, affordable and reliable for American families,” Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., who serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Republican caucus’s Energy, Climate, and Conservation Task Force, said in a statement. “A Republican-controlled House will advance policies that invest in clean energy and utilize all energy sources including natural gas, nuclear energy, hydrogen, solar, wind and clean coal.”
It’s a very, very long piece, and, really, there is very little the GOP can do unless the Democrat controlled Senate is willing to play ball on increasing energy. Which they won’t. But, they can stymie Biden and his Democrat Comrades. If they have any fortitude.
The House alone doesn’t have the power to get legislation passed which would reverse the Biden Administration’s policies, but it does have the power to refuse to appropriate money for the
global warmingclimate change policies. The Speaker of the House and the Rules Committee have the power to see that appropriations for such are never brought to the floor for a vote, and the Democrats and squish Republicans cannot override that.Authoritarian Teach typed: The House should pass legislation requiring Biden to only travel in EVs, to limit his flights to government business only, eliminating Biden’s trips to Delaware.
Can the Legislative Branch interfere with the Executive Branch in such a way? Would this pass muster in even this politicized Judicial Branch?
So it’s “authoritarian” for the people to demand our employees use climate saving EV’s but it’s not authoritarian for those same politicians to decide we can’t buy ICE cars after 2032?
The warped mind of a true communist.
The authoritarian Missouri AG, now a US Senator! has recruited the odious Missourian jimhoft (Gateway Pudendum founder) in suing people for saying bad things about jimhoft.
twitter banned jimhoft for spreading lies and the odious authoritarian fascist Eric Schmitt (now a US Senator!!) is now demanding emails from people who may have said bad things about the odious Pudendum. For example, the odious Schmitt has demanded 3 years of emails from a U of Washington professor who was an advisor to the federal gov’t.
In an October filing by the odious Schmitt’s office, the odious jimhoft is described as “one of the most influential online voices in the country” who suffered “extensive government-induced censorship”. Of course, the disgusting Schmitt was running for the US Senate and this was merely “lack of virtue signaling” to his far-right fascist base.
So much for the unfettered free speech the far-right fascists crow about.
Jeff,
So you feel that it is proper to slander people in a public forum, usually with liberal lies.
Porter Potty,
So, you believe in unfettered freedom of speech but only for right-wingers. Of course you do…
Congrats Jeff, that statement had no sense at all.
Doddering Daffy Davey repeats himself.
Funny-“for spreading lies..”. Probably not, just political information that they didn’t like.
The odious jimhoft (The Gateway Pudendum) spreads lies on his website daily.
We can tell because youse guys repeat them.
Why doesn’t the odious jimhoft of the Gateway Pudendum allow everyone to post articles on his Gateway Pudendum site?
Why doesn’t the odious jimhoft of the Gateway Pudendum allow everyone to post articles on his Gateway Pudendum site?
Well, why doesn’t the “odious” leftists who run their sites and what are supposed to be public sites like Twitter allow allow everyone to post?
We find it amusing that you manage to post here after name calling Teach as well as everyone else. Teach still tolerates your communist stupidity. There is not one leftist site that allows conservative commenting. Not one. And all you do is lie.
Associated Press with their completely fictional report on Russian missiles hitting Poland that carried severe consequences for escalating the war were a lie. RIGHT dowd?
Back in September, president pedo proudly announced his administration had reached an agreement with railroad unions to avoid a strike. However, at the time, unions did not confirm the agreement, leading to speculation that the only agreement pedo reached was for everyone to be quiet until midterm elections were over. IOW, the fuker lied to steal another election! Now we face a railroad strike before the holidays.
All you people do is lie, fuk children, murder babies, steal elections and steal people’s money. At least when you aren’t throwing Patriots into jail for protesting your crimes against America while your negroes burn down cities and murder cops for sport. The democommies, fuking America daily!
