Trump bill takes a ‘big, beautiful’ bite out of US climate progress
The megabill President Trump signed into law this month is expected to make a major dent in the U.S.’s climate progress, adding significantly more planet-warming emissions to the atmosphere.
Models of the legislation that have emerged since its passage earlier this month show U.S. emissions will rise as a result of its implementation.
One from climate think tank C2ES found U.S. emissions will be 8 percent more than they would have been otherwise as a result of the package.
“An 8% increase in our emissions is … still a massive amount of emissions,” said Brad Townsend, the group’s vice president for policy and outreach.
Taking into account all of the efforts to reduce U.S. emissions over the last 20 years, Townsend said, the bill represents “rolling back a third of that progress with a stroke of a pen.”
Why is it necessary for Government to mandate everything? Why can’t private citizens and companies who Believe do their part? It’s unnecessary for government to force citizens to comply, especially when the people passing the laws and making the regulations do not do what they tell everyone else to do.
Its most significant provisions repeal tax credits for climate-friendly energy technologies including wind and solar energy, as well as electric vehicles.
I’ll be honest, I see no problem with keeping the tax credits. It’s not hurting anyone, and, lets citizens keep more of their hard earned money. Heck, have more credits for individuals and small businesses who install solar panels, rather than big companies.
It also repeals programs that would have paid for low-carbon and anti-pollution projects, including in underserved neighborhoods.
I do have a problem with these programs, because they’re basically a way to hook up friendly NGOs and companies with government cash to do very little work. These scams need to die a painful death.

As we keep running huge deficits, something the recission bill barely touches, these tax credits, just more welfare for the well-to-do, reduce tax revenue from those who can afford to install solar systems and place more of a burden on normal Americans.
Growing up I blamed the Soviets for planting all this environmental nonsense just to damage our economy. Gotta admit, their plan worked. However, others who’ve done a lot more research, are now claiming the CCP is responsible.
