Project 2025 Would Devastate Climate Action

The Daily Show has a pretty funny run down on the creepy “Training Videos” that leaked from the Trump Campaign’s plan for a new administration, known as “Project 2025”.

The document outlines plans to “eradicate” climate change “everywhere” across the government, deconstruct NOAA and the EPA – but there’s more.

Energy Innovation:

America faces a fork in the road starting in January 2025, with two climate and energy policy pathways that are highly divergent. These future policy pathways result in stark differences for our health, our pocketbooks, the economy.

To better understand the pathways before us, Energy Innovation examined three sets of policies: 

• Projected impacts of recently adopted policies, including Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act, and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law as well as finalized U.S. EPA rules and major state policies through the end of July of this year. 
• Continued U.S. leadership, meaning policies necessary to hit America’s Paris Agreement target of 50-52 percent emissions reductions by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2050. 
• The climate and energy provisions of Project 2025. 

Our model finds the Continued Climate Leadership scenario creates more jobs, increases GDP, improves public health, and generates more household energy savings compared to the suite of Project 2025 policies.

3) Make America Expensive Again

Project 2025 would increase electricity & gas prices by as much as $32 BN by 2030. That's larger than the NASA space exploration budget 🤯

Meanwhile, dirt cheap clean energy (it's called inflation reduction act for a reason) would save $7.7 BN pic.twitter.com/0o2avOcdTb
