From Manhattan Contrarian<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On November 12, 2024 \u2014 a week after the election \u2014 I had a post titled \u201cIdeas For An Incoming Trump Administration: Climate And Energy Edition.\u201d<\/a> The first subject covered in that post was \u201cCommunications.\u201d I stated there:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[C]hanging the communications of the prior administration should be an easy and obvious first priority. <\/em>However, the Trump people notably did a poor job on this subject the first time out.<\/em><\/strong> The subject of climate and energy is pervasive through the websites of dozens of federal agencies.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had followed the EPA website in particular during the first Trump term, and it had been little changed even a year after Trump took office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time around, Trump and his people are doing a far better job of hitting the ground running on many issues. That is notably true in the area of climate and energy communications: a week in, there are already some meaningful changes at the websites of various agencies. However, changing communications on these issues is not a small task; the government websites during the Biden era had pervasive climate propaganda in thousands of locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, a week into the new administration, here are some of the things that have either changed or not so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Department of Energy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My November post noted that there was a big section, dominating the Department\u2019s website, titled \u201cCombating the Climate Crisis.\u201d<\/a> Today, if you go to the Department\u2019s opening web page, it\u2019s quite different. The front page headline is \u201cRestoring Energy Dominance,\u201d<\/a> followed by \u201cPresident Trump\u2019s Day One Actions will Return the Department to Regular Order.\u201d Here\u2019s how it starts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), effective today, is ending the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) pause and returning to regular order following direction given by President Donald J. Trump to \u201cunleash American Energy Dominance.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another big front-page topic back in November was \u201cEnergy Justice.\u201d Today, if you go to the link that I had then for \u201cEnergy Justice,\u201d<\/a> you will be taken back to the opening page with the headline \u201cRestoring Energy Dominance.\u201d The whole \u201cEnergy Justice\u201d thing seems to have disappeared. That\u2019s great progress. On the other hand, if you go to the old November link for \u201cCombatting the Climate Crisis,\u201d<\/a> you will find that a page full of the old Biden-era claptrap is still up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no greater challenge facing our nation and our planet than the climate crisis. That\u2019s why President Biden has laid out the boldest climate agenda in our nation\u2019s history\u2014one that will spur an equitable clean energy economy and cement America on a path to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. . ..<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To their credit, the old links to this stuff on the introductory page are gone, and using the site\u2019s search function doesn\u2019t turn this up. Likely, it will be memory-holed shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet there is still plenty of junk stuff up on this website that needs to go. As a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
