Destroying the Clean Energy Industry
The “Other 98%” reports: Trump is literally sabotaging America’s booming Clean Energy industry for his billionaire oil-tycoon donors.
A couple of points:
The 3.5 million American households that rely on paychecks that derive from the transformation to low-carbon energy and transportation aren’t going to be too pleased about this, and may take their displeasure with them when they enter the voting booth in 2026/28.

It would be hard not to notice that the bigots and religious extremists align themselves with the Republican party.
It appears that Trump will always have some support, regardless of how poorly things go for him. Though it may seem surreal to you and me, as shown at left, there are still plenty of people who believe that the president is a tireless and honest servant of the American people.
