Come on, man: President Joe Biden
« on: November 07, 2020, 12:56:10 PM »
Because now he is President-Elect he deserves his own thread for what happens under his watch.

First things first, please:

The moves that Trump has made not just to ignore climate change, but to deliberately hasten it, have to be undone as a matter of immediate priority IMO.

While Biden has promised to end new permitting for drilling on federal lands, many companies hoarded permits in the run-up to the election, according to previous Reuters reporting.
“If there is a 30-year lease, you can’t take it away. A lease is binding for its term,” Gerrard said.

The Interior Department under Trump auctioned more than 24 million acres of land, an area larger than Indiana, according to the House Natural Resources committee.

Damn, I had no idea it was that much.

Much of Trump's enviro-protecting rollbacks were via executive order - can't much could be restored in fairly short order?  And if nothing other than for reasons of political expediency, watch some GOP members of the Senate read the tealeaves (i.e. doubt enviro-related motions will be 100% split along party lines). They can sell energy independence all they want but that ship will eventually sail if it's attached to "scarring the landscape"

Renewable resources are a great way to promote new jobs or transition from older resource jobs. This shouldn’t be too difficult a sell based solely on merits.

Many ways to skin a cat, my point being that whether through environmental consciousness or the promise of jobs, the scarring-the-landscape ship's eventually going to be yesterday's news.  Now to make renewables viable scale-wise.

Locating the parents of 545 children should probably be fairly high on the priority list as well.

It should be the last thing ICE ever does.

Pish. Student debt is for people stupid enough to be born to parents too poor to cover their bills. They should pay every penny.

This sucks (and does nothing to dispel the notion that the party is just a nepotistic vehicle for people to fail upwards)
