We Tend To Overestimate Trump’s Power To Destroy
Michael Bloomberg often delivers a short address at the Renewable Energy Finance Forum – Wall St., an event I’ve attended several times over the years. Here’s an op-ed he wrote in the New York Times that invokes the same folksy, accessible and optimistic style with which speaks.
He’s correct that we tend to overestimate the damage that the Trump administration can inflict on our environment—and against civilization as a whole. Trump will be gone soon (how soon, no one knows), and the U.S. can get back on track as a leader in the environmental movement. And in the meanwhile, most of the power to make changes in our environmentally related policies is made at the level of state and local governments, not to mention millions of business entities and 320 million individual Americans. He makes a terrific point.
Don’t be too sure that we’ll get back on track when Trumpet goes. If he goes before the completion of his term, which seems likely, then the vice president will become president. Probably that would be an improvement, but can we be sure?
Frank is right, The Trumpet is not the entire problem – he is a figure head to a Movement based on Greed and ignorance and anti Science and Anti Working and small Business people along with many other hard working sectors of the economy.
he is the Tip of the Iceberg and beneath the Water are many more jagged points that need to be navigated to move forward…
Still Waters Run Deep and they are Quite Murky – and toxic too!!!
