Something that I feel Washington’s “Inflation Reduction Act” fails to do adequately. Methane from feedback is a major issue that the Act should have specifically addressed but didn’t because it is linked to Oil and Gas development. I would also argue that give Washington’s intentions and other policies to date (eg passing an $850 bn defense bill) America be lucky to net out ahead of the climate collapse during the Biden regime:
“Reducing Methane Emissions is one of the most effective ways to avoid climate disaster”
*
“Study suggests UK underestimates its methane emissions from oil and gas production; other countries probably do as well”
*
“The other ‘big one’: How a megaflood could swamp California’s Central Valley
A repeat of the state’s Great Flood of 1861-62 could cause over $1 trillion in damage.”
*
“Protest isn't terrorism
Rhetorical escalation can be deadly”
*
Special interests before common sense, cheaper, cleaner, renewable resources. This is how money in politics suppresses the economic and all-around social performance of a nation:
“U.S. Approves First Small Modular Nuclear Reactor Design
The historic move is a step on the long path ahead for nuclear power.”
*
“We May Not Actually Need All That Lithium
New research shows how simple policies like improving public transit and urban walkability can significantly reduce demand for problematic materials.”
*
Don’t expect democrats to save ya:
“The Freedom Caucus Has a Harebrained Plan to Jack Up Taxes on the Poor”
“Under the ‘Fair Tax,’ the poorest fifth of Americans would pay roughly 70 percent of their income in taxes.”
