    Not American, but bidenomics like the IRA is seen from Europe as the biggest and best thing the US has ever done on climate change.

    Fiscal stimulus post GFC was very effective compared to Europe’s austerity. 4T dollars in GDP.

      And yet, Biden’s administration approved more permits for oil and gas drilling in it’s first two years than Trump’s admin. Not to mention Biden has been supporting the Mountain Valley pipeline construction. Meanwhile oil companies reported record profits for 2022 and last month was the hottest July in recorded history.

      Capitalism and the libs that uphold it are completely and utterly incapable of addressing climate change.

        Net zero doesn’t mean zero oil though. Energy security is a necessity during transition away from fossil fuels.

        We’ll still need oil.
