The fact that its not possible to do will never stop the leftist activists in black robes from ordering that it must be done. SCOTUS will then have to strike down their overreach as usual.

Probably twenty percent of the US population are in one way or another anti-American. Most of them probably don’t see it that way. They’ve been convinced that America is the primary cause of whatever their hobby horse threat is; climate change, fascism, chem trails, chlorinated water, the list is endless. America’s real adversaries, Russia, China, Iran, Democrats, stoke these fears, magnifying them into real monsters. In the minds of these people and despite all actual facts, if America gives up (coal power, nuclear power, gas cars, etc.) then the whole world will be saved from their imaginary problem. They have no perspective that, say, China is building coal power plants in the dozens per year. Or, that America could do all those wonderful things and it wouldn’t move the needle on their hobby horse issue even a millimeter. This was all created by our education system, which could not be more effective as a weapon against America if it were actually run by the Chinese.

CO2 has never been about anything but money and power for the Left’s “Elites”.

The idiots on the Left believe in whatever their masters tell them. They would eat bugs in the dark, if told to do so.

“Nor will I ever understand how enough of those people got themselves into positions of sufficient political power to put their wacko energy ideas into effect.“

By being ACTIVIST. It started in the 60s. They literally simply went outside and started screaming. The press, sympathetic , helped in any way they could with careful edits and tight shots. And that’s it and now we live in their world, a fact that eludes most people because they have slowly acclimated to the insanity.

Your kid’s transgender? How nice! Need a cop or a firefighter or a soldier and some government approved variation of DEI shows up? Excellent! Got a space shuttle the exterior of which requires a special tile to withstand re-entry heat but the activist have replaced it with an inferior mix because OZONE HOLE!? Too bad. Go place flowers on the astronauts graves then get your dull brain straight and get with us and STFU! We are noble and anything we do is for your own good.

A huge amount of the insanity was never voted on. It was either the courts or ceded congressional authority to bureaucrats and if one of these authorities says that they can take your kid and literally chop up his or her genitals you will sit down. You will STFU. And you will like it.

Can you even imagine what the activists would be doing if their equivalent of a deviant showing up in their kindergarteners classroom happened? Hint: The press wouldn’t see to use tight shots on that one.

I will never understand how large numbers of seemingly intelligent people got the idea that they were going to save the world by forcing the closure of all the functional parts of the energy system of the U.S.

Because they aren’t interested in saving the world or stopping “climate change”, they’re interested in power and above all, the money they can make for themselves by using that control.

The carbon they are trying to eliminate is you and I. No other reason for what they are doing.

To many it was nothing more than setting up a massive gov’mt programs with $B so that they could skim it. Like USAID, SPLC, etc.

First you have to understand the nature of evil, that it is real and is everywhere.
