Trump vägrar omställning till fossilfria satsningar

Nu när man har en unik chans till att ställa om från olja till förnybart, så tar inte Trump den chansen.

Trump said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., had almost reached an agreement on the response bill over the weekend before Democrats suddenly injected the “Green New Deal” into the mix.

"[The Democrats said] 'We want green energy, let’s stop drilling oil' -- they had things in there that were terrible," Trump said. "Windmills all over the place and all sorts of credits for windmills -- they kill the birds and ruin the real estate. A lot of problems.”

Nice spin... Green New Deal har inte så mycket att göra med fossilfri omställning. Har inget att göra med nödåtgärder för kraschade marknad vid åtgärder mot Corona.

Demokraterna försöker få igenom detta genom att säga nej till räddningspaketet om The green new deal inte går igenom. Blir intressant att se hur det utvecklas.

President Trump has claimed the Green New Deal will take away your “airplane rights.” Senator Tom Cotton, Republican of Arkansas, told Hugh Hewitt, the conservative radio host, that the proposal would confiscate cars and require Americans to “ride around on high-speed light rail, supposedly powered by unicorn tears.” And Senator John Barrasso, Republican of Wyoming and chairman of the Committee on Environment and Public Works, warned that ice cream, cheeseburgers and milkshakes would be a thing of the pastbecause under the Green New Deal, “livestock will be banned.”

The resolution doesn’t do any of those things.

Green energy isn’t in the latest stimulus package
The Senate has been in deep talks — and some seriously heated arguments — for days in order to attempt to reach agreement over the stimulus bill as a result of COVID-19. Democrats say the delay is a result of the bill not containing enough support for healthcare systems. Republicans argue that Democrats are trying to ram through the Green New Deal.

It’s true that environmental groups are fighting funding for the fossil fuel industry and pushing for tax incentives for green energy, and stricter emissions rules on airlines. (And they’re right to do so: There is a direct correlation between pollution and health.)

But none of that, barring emissions reductions measures for the airline industry, is included in the bill. Transitioning to 100% green energy or support for EVs is not included in the bill. There is nothing about the Green New Deal.

As Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said, according to the Hill:

I keep hearing about the House wanting a Green New Deal as part of this emergency package. That’s a total red herring.

There’s no Green New Deal in this thing, so let’s get real.
att demokraterna ville eventuellt ta bort fossilenergibolagen från coronastödsåtgärder, kanske inte så fel
