The EPA was stripped of its power to regulate carbon emissions in 2022. Congress would need to pass another Clean Air Act for them to do anything. Even then with the Chevron precedent about to be overturned in the coming weeks, the EPA will have the authority to do…not a god damned thing.
How? Hawaii has a state constitution backing their decision. What can the EPA do? Say they Regulate climate emissions and ban oil extraction tomorrow. What happens? Texas and the other red oil producing states just fall in line? They say “gosh, I guess they can tell us what to do even though my boys on the cout said they can’t, oh well, we lose”
Of course not. Blue states tend to not need to be told what to do and are often the ones making the standards that are later imposed by the EPA nationally (see CARB standards still regulating MPG for example). So the EPA will be telling red states what to do, with no authority to do so and you seriously think they will just…do it? In what universe do you live, because I’d sure like to be there.
Trump is a symptom of your disgusting consumerist, rugged individual, fuck you i got mine culture. The pinnacle of 250 years of capitalism in action.
He is the epitome of what it means to be American. Fat, ignorant, born on third base but thinks home runs are easy. And most of all, proud of all of it.
If half of your country supports trump, getting rid of trump won’t fix the problem. Business as usual neoliberalism won’t fix the problem.

not red states. people. they will have to shell out for lawyers, and get a court date, and until then, they won’t be polluting.
but lets say that biden can’t find anyone at the epa willing to defy the impotent court: he could just use his national security powers.
but he won’t because he doesn’t actually care to fix things.
