“The rule was an ideological contrivance,” declares Mandy Gunasekara, former EPA Chief of Staff. “It weaponized junk science to push unreliable energy, destroy millions of American jobs and saddle families with higher electricity bills. The result? A grid teetering toward collapse.”
Ignoring real-world evidence:
The EPA’s projections of climate “disasters” failed to materialize.
CO?’s role in crop growth was deliberately downplayed to justify radical policies.
Regional grids lost 72,000 MW of coal-fired baseload power — a foundation no renewable can replace.
Grid instability: The human cost of climate policy extremism
The DOE’s stark warning about blackouts is no exaggeration. With data centers alone forecast to demand an additional 52,000 MW by 2030 and wind/solar output erratic, experts predict 430 hours of annual power shortages. PJM Interconnection — the energy grid serving 65 million people — notes the crisis “isn’t theoretical.”
“The math is simple: Swapping reliable power with unreliable renewables guarantees blackouts,” states energy analyst Isaac Orr. “24-hour backup power only comes from coal, gas, or nuclear. Remove those, and you’re left with a system that fails when the wind stops and the sun sets.”
Renewables replace only 18 percent of retiring coal’s capacity, leaving grids without “keep-the-lights-on” generation.
Pyrrhic green energy costs: Taxpayer-funded subsidies for “climate-friendly” policies add trillions to energy bills while failing to deliver promised grid stability.
The political battle for America’s energy future
The repeal process faces legal hurdles and partisan resistance, but the stakes are clear. If Democrats reclaim power, they’ll revive the same policies that chased factories overseas, inflated utility bills and made blackouts a certainty.
“It’s a classic ideological clash,” warns Heritage Foundation analyst Diana Furchtgott-Roth. “But after trillions wasted on unreliable energy, Americans are ready for honest solutions. We can’t erase the Endangerment Finding’s damage overnight, but we must act now to rebuild a grid rooted in reliability, not climate alarmism.”
Choosing stability over climate fiction
The Endangerment Finding’s repeal marks a pivotal moment: Will America prioritize fiscal discipline and energy security, or cling to failed climate dogma? Trump’s action puts first things first: keeping power flowing in hospitals, factories and households. While opponents warn of “climate doom” without fossil fuels, the real danger lies in ignoring grid realities.
As former EPA transition leader Myron Ebell notes: “Politically correct energy choices don’t keep the lights on. It’s time to abandon Ideology First energy policies and finally get serious about reliability.”
Parliament may have shut up shop for a six-week summer break, but MPs and the French president are turning up the heat on Sir Keir Starmer over the Middle East.More than one in three of all 650 MPs have written to the prime minister calling on the UK to recognise a Palestinian state at a United Nations conference next week. In response to the call, his answer is essentially: Yes, […]
