Conservative groups have crafted a plan for demolishing the federal government’s efforts to counter climate change — and it wouldn’t stop with President Joe Biden’s policies.

The 920-page blueprint, whose hundreds of authors include former Trump administration officials, would go far beyond past GOP efforts to slash environmental agencies’ budgets or oust “deep state” employees.

Called Project 2025, it would block the expansion of the electrical grid for wind and solar energy; slash funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s environmental justice office; shutter the Energy Department’s renewable energy offices; prevent states from adopting California’s car pollution standards; and delegate more regulation of polluting industries to Republican state officials.

      The thing is, most red states will be the worst hit. The deep south will be unlivable in summer in a few years, it’s almost unlivable now.

        It was a similar thing when they killed off their voters with Covid… Costing Trump his second term and derailing their own 2022 “red wave”.

        Foresight isn’t exactly the GQP’s strong suit.
