But&nbsp;<strong>Chapter 4, \u201cTackling the Climate Crisis, Lowering Energy Costs, &amp; Securing Energy Independence\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;(p. 32) starts with climate alarmism and continues with the villains Donald Trump and Big Oil:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every year, the devastation caused by climate change grows more urgent. Across the country, Americans experience the dire impacts of climate change: Floods and storms wipe more homes off the map. Wildfire smoke spreads thousands of miles, forcing millions to shelter indoors. We\u2019ve had the worst droughts in a thousand years, and the fastest sea-level rise in over a century. Last year was Earth\u2019s hottest on record. Natural disasters and extreme weather have cost America over one trillion dollars in damages in just the last seven years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026 It\u2019s a consequence of delay and destruction by people like Donald Trump and his friends in Big Oil, who still deny what we all see happening right before our eyes\u2026. Now, Trump is set to do Big Oil\u2019s and polluters\u2019 bidding again.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is all-good-things from the federally directed \u201cenergy transition,\u201d which bribes consumers to buy the energies and energy-using appliances and vehicles that they would not naturally purchase. The term&nbsp;<em>forced energy transformation<\/em>&nbsp;applies, at the expense of consumers and taxpayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now to the platform\u2019s claims about&nbsp;<em>lower energy costs<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>jobs<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>American Climate Corps<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>electric vehicles<\/em>, and&nbsp;<em>climate policy<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cLowering energy costs\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;revolves around \u201ccheaper, cleaner energy and with tax credits to make home energy use more efficient and affordable.\u201d Except that free-market choice by consumers themselves\u2013with their own money on the line\u2013is not what the government wants. And special tax favors for some are paid for by all. Classic misdirection\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Jobs?<\/em>&nbsp;The claim that the \u201clandmark\u201d Inflation Reduction Act \u201chas so far directly created over 300,000 jobs in communities nationwide\u201d is the broken-window fallacy as election propaganda. What would have the (taxpayer) resources done if they had not been hijacked by the federal government? What cheaper, more reliable electric generation capacity would there be without DOE grants, the Production Tax Credit, and the Investment Tax Credit? What would the price of a new car be without the subsidies to electric vehicles. What would the price of new appliances\u2014such as stoves, refrigerators, washing machines\u2014be without the book of mandatory efficiency standards from DOE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>American Climate Corps<\/em>. \u201cDemocrats launched the American Climate Corps, a new work force training and service initiative that will put more than 20,000 young Americans to work on clean energy, conservation, and climate resilience projects nationwide,\u201d with a goal to triple its size by the start of 2030. Ouch! And civil libertarians, please stand up. The idea of a New Deal works program propagandizing youth is scary and Orwellian to the max.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Electric Vehicles<\/em>. This one has turned into a campaign liability, so the Platform\u2019s entire paragraph is worth reciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With tax credits, Democrats helped quadruple sales of electric vehicles, with the goal that 50 percent of all new passenger cars sold in the U.S. by 2030 be electric. We\u2019re protecting American children from asthma-related diesel pollution by giving school districts rebates to buy thousands of electric school buses so kids don\u2019t have to breathe polluted air. We\u2019ll keep working to electrify the nation\u2019s fleet of school buses, transit buses, and federal vehicles, including the U.S. Postal Service fleet. We\u2019ll double funding to repair and expand active transportation and public transit, reducing pollution and traffic, and connecting people to jobs and opportunity. And we\u2019ll work to electrify our ports and waterways, prioritizing progress towards a goal of zero-emissions freight.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what are the cost and operational disadvantages of this forced transition? If electric vehicles, school buses, and port machinery are not already in service, why not? And where is the money coming from in the federal budget? Is a surplus being worked down? Or is the deficit and debt ballooning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Climate Activism<\/em>. No surprise here. \u201cPresident Biden has restored America\u2019s global climate leadership, once again making our nation the world\u2019s pivotal force against climate change. The United States rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement on day one of his presidency, and President Biden set an ambitious goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, in line with climate science.\u201d Continuing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Administration has rallied the world to commit for the first time to transitioning away from fossil fuels. It set a bold new goal for nations to triple renewable energy worldwide and to double energy efficiency by 2030; and it helped to launch a new global clean-energy supply chain partnership to make that happen. As Democrats, we believe the United States has an indispensable role to play in solving the climate crisis, and we have an obligation to help other nations carry out this work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The failure of climate mitigation policies, now in its fourth decade, speaks for itself. Oil, natural gas, and coal are each in a global growth mode despite governments madly spending money and increasing mandates at the expense of consumers and taxpayers. Social injustice at the expense of the average person\u2013whatever happened to Democrats as the Party of the small and vulnerable?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, the bogeyman of Big Oil returns in the heart of the document. \u201cThroughout, we\u2019ll keep standing up to Big Oil, as our clean energy boom breaks the industry\u2019s monopoly hold on energy markets\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Going forward, we\u2019ll also eliminate tens of billions of dollars in other unfair oil and gas subsidies. When windfall profiteering causes prices to spike at the pump, we\u2019ll release our own supplies to keep costs down for American families. And, when we hear of potential collusion or price-gouging, we\u2019ll hold oil and gas executives accountable.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe with electoral defeat, the Democratic Party can remake itself on energy and climate policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cTo tackle the climate crisis, lower energy costs, and secure energy independence\u2026.\u201d (General Preamble)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121246920,"featured_media":346401,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_crdt_document":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[691818056,691830885,691818618,691818849,691829890],"class_list":{"0":"post-346397","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-uncategorized","8":"tag-climate-change","9":"tag-electric-cars-evs","10":"tag-energy-transition","11":"tag-green-new-deal","12":"tag-vice-president-kamala-harris","14":"fallback-thumbnail"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/0-Kamela-Harris.jpeg?fit=1200%2C796&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paxLW1-1s73","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":290108,"url":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?p=290108","url_meta":{"origin":346397,"position":0},"title":"WATCH NOW: Climate campaigners descend on Dubai","author":"uwe.roland.gross","date":"05\/12\/2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Watch Gabby Hoffman on OAN address Kamala Harris\u2019s multi-billion dollar pledge to the UN\u00a0 Green Climate fund and more. https:\/\/rumble.com\/v3zmi72-one-on-one-with-gabby-hoffman.html The post\u00a0WATCH NOW: Climate campaigners descend on Dubai\u00a0appeared first on\u00a0CFACT.","rel":"","context":"In \"Gabby Hoffman\"","block_context":{"text":"Gabby Hoffman","link":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?tag=gabby-hoffman"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0Gabby-Hoffmann-OAN-COP-28.png?fit=1200%2C674&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0Gabby-Hoffmann-OAN-COP-28.png?fit=1200%2C674&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0Gabby-Hoffmann-OAN-COP-28.png?fit=1200%2C674&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0Gabby-Hoffmann-OAN-COP-28.png?fit=1200%2C674&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/0Gabby-Hoffmann-OAN-COP-28.png?fit=1200%2C674&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":422027,"url":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?p=422027","url_meta":{"origin":346397,"position":1},"title":"Net Zero is Slowing Growth, Bank of England Warns","author":"uwe.roland.gross","date":"19\/01\/2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Net zero policies are slowing the global economy, Andrew Bailey has warned.
