Trump has never bought into their delusions about manmade climate change and can’t be bullied the way liberals can into supporting their profitable green measures. Not only has he ridiculed some of their more outlandish claims in the past, but he has also promised to continue the practice of extracting fossil fuels and back out of the highly flawed Paris climate accord.

Clean technology proponents are already in damage control mode, with United Nations climate chief Simon Stiell trying to allay market fears by stating: “Those investing in clean energy are already enjoying huge wins in terms of jobs and wealth, and cheaper, more secure energy. This is because the global energy transition is inevitable and gathering pace, making it among the greatest economic opportunities of our age.”

Reuters, meanwhile, reported that Trump’s win “has darkened the outlook for a strong deal at the COP29 climate summit” scheduled for next week in Azerbaijan. The participating countries are expected to set a new target for climate aid that may surpass $1 trillion annually; climate alarmists are worried that other countries won’t provide funding if the U.S. doesn’t get on board.

Reuters was also quick to point out that he has called out climate change for being a hoax and that his policy advisers considered removing the U.S. from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Many are worried that he will try once again to withdraw from it when he retakes office, which could also set the stage for other countries being reluctant to participate.

Centre for European Reform Senior Research Fellow Elisabetta Cornago implied that the outcome of the election could spell disaster for climate change funding. She said: “Pushing for more ambitious climate finance is going to be almost impossible without the U.S. buy-in, which will de-motivate developing countries from taking seriously the climate ambitions of the West.”

One Latin American climate minister told the AP that Trump’s return to the Oval Office is a big setback.

“The election feels like a slap in the face to climate progress, but it won’t stop the global push for clean energy. Sticking with fossil fuels is a dead end,” the official stated.

Trump is expected to boost fossil fuel production

Trump has stated his intention to increase the production of fossil fuels, and he is expected to prop up the industry through regulation and potentially opening more federal lands up for drilling. He may also roll back some policies that pertain to emissions and fossil fuels, something he did during his first term in office as well. In addition, he plans to support new liquefied natural gas export terminals. This is something that Biden has been actively working against.

Climate change alarmist Sam Ricketts said that Trump’s presidency will make the planet unsafe for children.

“This is obviously a difficult result to stomach for those of us who care about our democracy as well as healthy communities and a safe and livable planet for our children. There’s no sugar-coating it: This is a gut punch,” he said.

Trump has yet to release his official climate agenda, but he has said that he will repeal the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act, which spends billions of dollars on greening the economy.

If Kamala Wins, Prepare for Climate Change Authoritarianism and the Destruction of America’s Economy https://freerreport.com/if-kamala-wins-prepare-for-climate-change-authoritarianism-and-the-destruction-of-americas-economy/ https://freerreport.com/if-kamala-wins-prepare-for-climate-change-authoritarianism-and-the-destruction-of-americas-economy/#respond Mon, 04 Nov 2024 18:15:05 +0000 https://freerreport.com/if-kamala-wins-prepare-for-climate-change-authoritarianism-and-the-destruction-of-americas-economy/ (Natural News)—When it comes to “green” energy policies, California is often looked at as the model and example for other states. Did you know, though, that California ranks barely above the world average for so-called “fossil fuel” usage, even as it sits on large reserves full of crude oil and natural gas?

With Election Day right around the corner, one of the issues voters are voting on this election cycle is energy policy. Donald Trump talks a big game about reinvigorating America’s energy independence through the expanded use of native fossil fuels while Kamala Harris wants more climate authoritarianism, which in the end will only lead to the destruction of America’s economy.

California’s Kern County – Kamala used to be attorney general in California – is a gold mine for fossil fuels. It boasts some of the world’s largest oil fields with an estimated reserve of somewhere around 27 billion barrels. Since that oil is considered “heavy” oil, making it more difficult to extract and refine, California developed some of the cleanest and most advanced methods of purifying that oil without destroying the environment – a win-win, right?

The problem is that, thanks to the climate policies of Democrats, California currently imports around 75 percent of its oil and 90 percent of its natural gas. On top of that, Democrats in California are also forcing the state’s residents to subsidize expensive “renewable” energy programs based on wind and solar.

It is a mess, in other words, and one that Kamala wants to replicate on a national scale. Should she end up getting installed into the White House, Kamala will turn the entire country into California, but in all the wrong ways.

“Californians are victims of a special interest-driven regime that is determined to keep the state on the bleeding edge of so-called renewable energy technology,” writes Edward Ring for AMGreatness.com.

“It is naïve to think Kamala Harris is going to deviate from these energy policies if she ends up getting elected U.S. president. Across the entire nation, the result will be higher energy costs than ever, costing taxpayers and consumers not hundreds of billions, but literally trillions of dollars. Most of this money will be wasted.”

(Related: Kamala Harris is doubling down on her climate conspiracy theories, which she is trying to leverage as a means to force America into accepting “net zero” carbon tyranny.)

Kamala: an enemy of cheap, domestic energy

The situation in California is disturbing in that the Golden State sits atop virtually limitless amounts of cheap and abundant energy that is increasingly staying trapped in the ground as state officials refuse to issue new drilling permits. The latest “green” laws in the state have made it steadily more impossible for the state to be energy independent, which is what Kamala wants for the entire country.

It turns out that only a select few are given access to the gold mines full of energy as beneficiaries of the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris regime’s “Green New Deal.” Special subsidies and grants are made available only to those with these special connections while everyone else is simply out of luck.

“Expect streamlined zoning and tax subsidies for solar and wind farms,” Ring writes about what Americans can expect under a Kamala regime.

“Expect restrictions not only on conventional fuels but also on every imaginable petroleum derivative, including fertilizer. Expect therefore to see every business that lacks the economies of scale to withstand the new regulations to die a slow death, while ‘green’ financiers and ‘green’ monopolists – i.e., Kamala Harris’s donors – consolidate and dominate every sector of the American economy.”
