One intriguing sign is that eco-activists in Washington, DC.. anticipate a different political climate after the November election.
Team Biden is flooding climate projects with billions from the nation’s coffers.
The Environmental Protection Agency announced $4.3 billion in funding on Monday for 25 new projects proposed by states, tribes, local governments and territories to tackle climate change. The funding could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 971 million metric tons by 2050, or roughly the emissions of five million homes over 25 years, according to the agency.Among the jurisdictions that will get funding, Nebraska will receive $307 million to reduce agricultural waste and enhance energy efficiency in homes and buildings. Pennsylvania will get $396 million to reduce industrial pollution and create about 6,000 jobs.
Admittedly, it could also be an effort to gin up enthusiasm among a base that appears less than excited about Democratic presidential candidate manipulations.
The funding reflects how the Biden administration is rushing to distribute climate money before the November election. This month, the Energy Department unveiled $1.7 billion for retooling 11 auto factories to make electric vehicles and their components….The 25 projects — from states, a tribe, local governments and coalitions — were chosen from more than 300 applications for almost $33 billion in funding. The selections were based off the potential reduction of emissions, the ability to track these reductions and the diversity of industries represented.Among the selected projects is a Pennsylvania grant program for decarbonization programs across the state, measures in Nebraska to reduce agricultural emissions and waste, and an effort to build electric vehicle chargers for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles along a highway in the Northeast.The grants also include $500 million for the air management district in Southern California, which will be used to help decarbonize the region’s transportation and freight sectors, including at busy ports in Long Beach and Los Angeles, Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) announced Monday.
Over the last three years, there have been so many failures with green energy that it is hard to know where to begin.
For example, the massive wind farm failure is ruining East Coast beaches.
The expensive electric school bus program is losing participants.
And let’s not forget that the EV market appears to be running out of gas—even among popular and iconic brands.
Tesla’s second-quarter net income fell 45% compared with a year ago as the company’s global electric vehicle sales tumbled despite price cuts and low-interest financing.The Austin, Texas, company said Tuesday that it made $1.48 billion from April through June, less than the $2.7 billion it made in the same period of 2023. It was Tesla’s second-straight quarterly net income decline.
I can only hope that real science will be prioritized after November over the pseudoscience and social justice that have been driving policymaking over the past few years.
