From Master Resource<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany full-time climate activists like Mark Trexler need to get real jobs<\/em> in the private sector producing goods and services that people want rather than engaging in wealth redistribution and net resource loss. A sea change is upon us\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Mark Trexler<\/a> of the (alarmist) Climate Risk Red Team (see appendix below) has compiled a list of Trump-related action items for a consumer-first, America-first approach to climate and energy policy. Trexler, worried about Trump, published<\/a> this useful list that can now be compared to Trump\u2019s executive orders now flowing from Washington, DC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I\u2019d heard a lot about the Heritage Foundation\u2019s \u201cProject 2025\u201d blueprint for a second Trump Administration, I\u2019ve never seen a simple listing of specific things being proposed. Note this is just a partial list, is limited to climate change, and is just one of a number of such lists being developed. That said, the implications would be pretty remarkable.

I count 47 items. Are there more? This is prior government\u2019s fault for imposing\u2014not a reform candidate\u2019s fault for repeal\/weakening. Free-market energies should be for the masses, not government wind, solar, and batteries re the Climate Industrial Complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
