US Conservatives are gearing up to provide their best to gear up for battle against climate catastrophe - that is, the catastrophe of anyone doing fuck all about it. Their nearly 1000 page plan is a complete shift from the federal government regulating polluters and encouraging clean energy to capitulating to polluters and doing nothing to encourage development of clean energy. In this respect they are even behind many big energy companies mainly known for fossil fuel, who are changing their portfolios to include clean energies.
Not only does their numbskull plan retreat from action at the federal level, but it also attempts to stop states from making progress on their own. On the longer political scale, this further separates Republicans from young people. Even young conservatives tend to acknowledge anthropomorphic climate change. Republicans will not easily be forgiven for sabotaging climate action as forests burn, rivers run dry, hurricanes become more frequent, glaciers retreat, and the world swelters under an increase in heat waves.
