1. He’s not wrong.

2. This muscular old man speaks the truth.

3. Always tough on citizens, not those in power. Obviously no one in government now cares but where was this attitude under biden or Obama? You have to pressure leaders too

4. “He pointed to examples of local and regional governments and companies taking action, including his own administration in California, and argued 70% of pollution is reduced at the local or state level.”

   This is the most important part of that article. Just because the federal government rolls back regulations doesn’t mean states can’t fill the void that’s left.  In addition, many states have adopted or mirrored federal regulations and may or may not keep them on the books if the fed regs disappear, so it’s up to you to implore your state reps.

   Citizens have a much, much higher chance of influencing their respectiv state lawmakers than their federal representatives.  I agree with Arnie, get out there, fight, and make a difference.

5. The issue is Federal funding. You can’t simply “be the school that puts solar on your rooftop” if you’re not getting Federal support.
