You know what would have been great for American manufacturing investment? NOT repealing key policies that lowered taxes for the US solar, wind and EV sectors.
Wow this is interesting 👀. The @WhiteHouse official account is promoting a solar manufacturing facility being developed in Texas after Trump's visit to the state yesterday. Ken Paxton campaign account also promoting
Scary!

Congrats, I guess....“The United States oil and gas business is making hundreds of billions of dollars. I don't give a damn, I'm going to say it — we're making a freaking fortune," Trump bragged over the weekend.
SCOOP: President Trump is set to unveil a plan to dial back methane mandates on oil & gas operations during a Texas rally Tuesday. He's expected to cast the proposal as a way to encourage more domestic energy production & lower costs. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… w/ @Zhirji28
lol. "Trump's comments are unlikely to curry goodwill among an American electorate reckoning with an affordability crisis less than two weeks out from midterm elections."
I am sure people are very happy that oil gazillionaires are getting even richer.

But as @christygoldfuss of @NRDC told me, big environmental groups and some of their Dem allies need to see a lot more.
"To the extent that the Trump administration continues to stand in the way of clean energy, they are endangering any permitting bill going forward," she said

While the current permitting bill would deliver transmission benefits, some of the language around environmental and public health safeguards requires changes. Our experts across sectors have broken down the details, examining its policy impacts and the improvements we need to make.

Big Oil giants ExxonMobil and Suncor Energy are trying to throw out a lawsuit by Boulder, Colorado, that seeks to hold them responsible for the damage their climate pollution caused. And they want to go a step further and stop anyone from holding them accountable in any state’s court system.
Seems important! "while asserting that the Clean Air Act applies here, the current administration is doing everything it can to get the courts to say that the act does not in fact allow EPA to regulate greenhouse gases now or in the future," Gina McCarthy thehill.com/opinion/energy-e…

Wait, my god. The mad bastard is actually doing it.
Trump signed an executive order yesterday directing federal agencies to develop and implement, by November 27, a campaign across Washington, D.C. to reduce, by 2028, invasive mosquito populations by 90% & tick populations by 50%: whitehouse.gov/presidential-… @chenderson
A new go-to source for permitting news? Watch out!
NEWS: Senate permitting text is coming tomorrow, Sen. Alan Armstrong (R-Okla.) tells me.
There’ll be a press conference and a full bill release, he said. A senior aide involved in negotiations also confirmed to @NicoPortuondo.
@politico today. Whoops! "Trump trumpeted the fuel economy revision as helping consumers. But its own documents suggest otherwise."
Hey, don't worry, though: Oil companies are going to profit from selling more gasoline, NHTSA's analysis said.... 🫤
Smart hire!

This is a big blow to American drivers already paying more than $4/gal. More gas guzzlers = higher costs at the pump.
Oh, well, the oil industry will have another reason to celebrate: theguardian.com/us-news/2026…
