“The nation’s halting and uneven clean energy rollout — exacerbated by President Donald Trump’s hostility to anything green — threatens our prosperity, our climate, and our communities. Left unchecked, rising temperatures (driven largely by fossil fuels and the industries that burn them) will destroy ecosystems, disrupt our economy, and destabilize our society. Some opportunistic politicians think they have a solution in the latest media fad, the so-called ‘Abundance’ movement. They argue that the rules and regulations put in place to protect the environment are in fact obstacles impeding our ability to build the clean energy our climate needs. Their logic is nonsensical: Cut environmental regulations to protect the environment and unleash energy abundance.” (10/15/25)
