The dismantling of the Green state continues

The Trump Train chugs at full speed, and radical green initiatives pay the price.
This week, the news has focused on several yuge announcements from the Trump administration, plus a lot of leftist media speculation they seem to have made up out of thin air. Case in point: Elon Musk isn’t going anywhere, despite the rumors to the contrary. Trump also announced “Liberation Day” on Thursday, which sucked all the oxygen out of the room when he announced his reciprocal tariff plan on overseas imports. That caused a rather volatile day in the stock markets and in the media. Of course, that stirred pot is exactly where Trump lives, so he seems to be thriving on the attention.
While those media events have taken all the attention, a lot of stuff happened in the environmental space that escaped notice. We have much to cover in this week’s column that you may have missed. A spectacular wind turbine failure puts a punctuation mark on the end of Biden’s Green New Deal insanity and other stories about failing green energy; the Gotion EV battery plant in Michigan continues to unravel; a scientific study shows just how much a volcanic eruption a few years ago affected the climate, dwarfing human contributions; a tragic EV explosion that claimed the lives of two firefighters; the children who sued the government over the climate and lost now want to change their state constitution; and Al Gore is still wrong about everything.
In our Good News segment, the far-left government of British Columbia has abandoned its heralded carbon tax; Trump has started rolling back tailpipe emissions rules; and EPA Chief Lee Zeldin has closed the EPA Museum (yes, it really existed).
Let’s get to it.
