“A seven billion dollar cut by the Trump administration in Global warming initiatives means that the world must look elsewhere for global solutions! In essence, President Trump and his administration aren’t going to solve the Global Warming crisis, because they don’t even admit is exist. ”
“I DON’T SEE A COHERANT U.S. POLICY TO COMBAT GLOBAL WARMING.”
“The United States not recognizing global and catastrophic climate change as a main threat violates the roots of our way of life (follow the science) going in us policy.”
POLITICS TO POLICIES
“OUR PRIORITIES HAVE BEEN RESET AND NOT IN A WAY THAT WILL HELP PREVENT CLIMATE CHANGE.”
“AMERICANS HAVE TOO MUCH STUFF!”
“With the results of the election…American energy policy is going to change!”
DECENTRALIZE THE POWERS THAT DEAL THE CARDS!
Pulling out of Paris Accords…
“INACTION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY CATASTROHIC!”
What we are observing is falling on deaf ears and nothing is being done. NOTHING IS CHANGING EXCEPT THE WEATHER.
ENERGY DEPENDENCE IS A FACTOR…The cost of electricity going up do to increased regulations drives up prices for the consumer who will vote for the candidate that offers affordable fuel prices.
DRILL BABY DRILL!
“WE ARE ALREADY CONTROLLING THE WEATHER!”
The United States’ energy policy is determined by a combination of federal, state, and local entities. The Department of Energy (DOE) is responsible for administering the country’s energy policy, including:
- Developing, amending, and implementing energy conservation standards
- Managing the country’s nuclear infrastructure
- Establishing energy-efficiency standards for certain appliances and equipment
The DOE uses a multi-step rulemaking process that includes public participation to establish standards. Congress granted the DOE the authority to establish these standards.
Other factors that influence energy policy in the United States include:
- Legislation
- International treaties
- Subsidies and investment incentives
- Advice for saving energy
- Taxes
- Building codes
- Mileage standards
- Commuting policies
The boundary lines between federal and state authority are not always clear, which can lead to tension and disagreement. Congress can override state control to promote national interests.
First thing that must be done is we must separate energy policy from the political arena.
Second thing that needs to be done is the funding of an independent global warming national watch dog agency. Which believe it or not we don’t have yet.
We need international participation and contributions in addition to UN sponsored agendas.
A mandate needs to be developed, followed, and enforced to insure that global greenhouse effects decrease.
A national global warming policy giving it as much importance as defense needs to be created and a national agency needs to be set up.
“WE ARE VERY GOOD AT DOING NOTHING!”
