A President who states an intention to veto a piece of legislation does not have to list all the reasons for doing so. Presidents will often emphasize what they think is the most broadly unpopular flaw in legislation they want to veto; and President Trump has emphasized the inadequacy of $600\/capita payments to bring lower-income households back from severe economic distress. But he remains, lamentably, the only really strong opponent of the economy-killing and nation-killing austerity of the Paris Climate Accord and the central bankers\u2019 \u201cGreat Reset\u201d to green economy worldwide.<br><br>\u00a0 This $900 billion fourth COVID relief package does not set a \u201czero carbon\u201d deadline date, but does say that it is \u201cthe sense of Congress\u201d that the Energy Department must prioritize funding for research to give the United States \u201c100 percent clean, renewable, zero-emission energy sources\u201d. This would attempt to ban clean coal, fossil-fuel hydrogen and natural gas-related research and \u2013 under the bizarre definitions of \u201crenewable energy source\u201d likely used by a Biden-named DoE chief, would cut down the research on advanced nuclear and fusion reactors which has been the Trump DoE\u2019s focus.<br><strong><br><\/strong>\u00a0 And then this legislation extends tax credits and funds (with $35 billion, a huge increase in DoE funding) new R&amp;D programs for wind and solar power, electricity storage batteries, upgrades to \u201csmart\u201d electric grids, energy-efficiency projects like insulation, etc., and research on \u201cremoving carbon from the atmosphere\u201d where it merely forms the indispensable basis for plant life. It empowers the EPA to cut production and use of hydrofluorocarbons by 85% over 15 years. So, the whole \u201cBuild Bunk Better\u201d program is foreshadowed in this legislation.<br><br>Worse \u2013 finding the Green New Deal virtually promised in \u201crelief\u201d legislation which eventually was passed with large majorities, shows the degree to which labor-oriented Democrats and business-oriented Republicans have either taken the toxic kool-aid of low-energy, low-productivity, low-population economy, or have become convinced they must go along with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The budget agreement joined to the \u201cCOVID relief\u201d legislation President Trump refused to sign until Sunday night, in no way will provide any stimulus to the real economy; but it does include a first-ever commitment by the United States Congress to ruin the economy, by adopting British Malthusian central banker Mark Carney\u2019s goal of \u201czero [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":65819,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[842],"class_list":["post-65817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-allgemein","tag-lang-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65817"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65817\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65829,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65817\/revisions\/65829"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
