Washington Post lets the Trump administration lie on energy

No push back. No investigation. The Post just lets them lie.

President Donald Trump has the authority to entirely abolish protected areas set aside as national monuments by past presidents, according to a legal opinion released by the Department of Justice.

You report the Trump Administration claim that they “took American energy infrastructure that was on life support and brought it back to life.”This is nonsense. You need to investigate it. How about this?www.eia.gov/todayinenerg…

Make sure they don’t take credit for projects funded during the Biden administration.

Trump’s bad plan to eliminate Energy Star

The public saves money

Manufacturers supported it

On;y Trump wants to get rid of it.

The EPA plans to eliminate Energy Star, the popular energy efficiency certification for dishwashers, refrigerators, dryers and other home appliances, according to agency documents and a recording of an internal meeting.

Trump’s plan to end the Energy Star program is a blow to American families and businesses everywhere. This program has saved $500 billion in energy costs over the past 30 years. Energy efficiency isn’t just an environmental solution—it’s an economic one.www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi…

Very unusual just how fast Bosch and the other appliance makers immediately called out EPA for reported plans to eliminate Energy Star. Not something you see companies do these days.Energy Star saves average household ~$450/year and is VOLUNTARY

The Trump administration announced plans to eliminate the Energy Star program. “For just $32 million a year, Energy Star helped Americans save over $40 billion in annual energy costs.” Eliminating the program contradicts the promise to reduce household energy costs.www.engadget.com/big-tech/tru…

Americans support solar energy

Trump opposes solar energy but the public supports it.

87% of Americans support federal incentives to deploy solar and energy storage, including 78% of 2020 Trump votersWould love to see this updated for 2024 Trump voters.seia.org/news/new-pol…

Americans are loud and clear on clean energy – 7 of 10 want wind, solar and more renewable alternatives to replace fossil fuels, latest Pew Research Center poll shows. Same majority back President Biden’s goals to be carbon neutral by 2050….

“Right here in Arizona, $2 billion of investments, components made in America, competitive carbon-free electricity & significant job creation. It’s a great story!”Trump promised to kill the IRA & in turn Arizona’s solar boom & killing 1000’s of jobs.#Voices4Victory azmirror.com/2024/12/10/s…

Trump will have to let the sun shine!Solar for All is likely protected from Trump’s roll back of Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. The program is set to install solar panels to power nearly a million low-income households over the next five years. floodlightnews.org/solar-for-al…

More bad news for coal. Trump needs to face the facts. We need to look to the future and re-train coal workers for jobs that will last.
