Conservative groups have crafted a plan for demolishing the federal government’s efforts to counter climate change — and it wouldn’t stop with President Joe Biden’s policies.

The 920-page blueprint, whose hundreds of authors include former Trump administration officials, would go far beyond past GOP efforts to slash environmental agencies’ budgets or oust “deep state” employees.

Called Project 2025, it would block the expansion of the electrical grid for wind and solar energy; slash funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s environmental justice office; shutter the Energy Department’s renewable energy offices; prevent states from adopting California’s car pollution standards; and delegate more regulation of polluting industries to Republican state officials.

    really hoping the southern US in particular getting roasted alive snaps a few people out of the conservative bullshit.

      Guy from Georgia here… Nah, killing themselves through roasting is perfectly fine as long as they still get to hurt brown people. Selling your soul out to corporations who will rape the environment and destroy the lives of your children and grandchildren is a far second place to making brown people suffer.

        its amazing to watch the legacy of “hate the other” play out. I am in awe of the human capacity for stupidity and manipulation.
