“The fee, had it taken effect, would have been the first-ever federal tax directly imposed on a greenhouse gas. It would have applied to roughly a third of the methane emissions that come from oil and gas infrastructure in the U.S. and diverted 1.2 metric tons of methane through 2035 — the equivalent of taking nearly 8 million gas-powered cars offline for a year.”
Trump Guarantees his failure as President.
When I read this I thought it said “reveals” and not repeals. I reread because I thought “no fucking way”
Indeed, no fucking way, I read it wrong. Sad!
Presidents can’t ‘repeal’ legislation. Sounds like a court will block the move.
