What can be done by presidential mandate can be undone by presidential mandate. If the Democrats weren’t buffoons they might try doing the mandating at the beginning of their term, when it can be in place for 4-8 years, instead of at the end of it when it will be in place for a month at best.
but doing it at the beginning of his term would require him to actually be pushing hard for this.
He doesn't want it to ever actually take place, just like Obama and Net Neutrality
It will likely take longer to get this implemented than it will for Trump to rescind it.
He put his energy into green energy that was in the IRA.
If he had pushed this earlier and then the green energy stuff now, you'd say "why didn't he do the green energy at the start of his term?" There no winning when that's all you say.
Why couldn't he do both at the start of the term?
Ah the classic "why didn't they do everything, everywhere, all at once?!"
True, he was too busy approving a record number of fracking permits. We can't expect him to do everything!
You need to solve the demand problem.
A lot fewer people would be demanding oil if they could get a cheap EV, but Biden slapped 100% tariffs on those.
This isn't one and done, nor is it a small item. You reallllly want to build up your own industry. Then see if you can dominate the world in one way or another.
Given how important climate change is, we really don't want to wait to build up our own industry, especially when the entrenched interests prefer to drag that out as long as possible to maximize profits on existing fossil fuel tech. After all, the US had just as much time (in fact more) to build up that industry as China yet look at where we are compared to them.
I was always on the side of saving the legacy manufacturers since entire supply chains affect so many people and have a huge impact on our national economy. We want them to succeed. They clearly don’t. They’d rather sow FUD while denying reality to eke out more profitable quarters than to invest in the transition to new technology. They’ve had their chances. Over and over.
Fuck it then. Ditch ‘em
Chinese imports 1) would bankrupt american industry, and 2) wouldnt solve it anyway because this is not one and done. Like really, this is not a small or simple thing. We need massive industry to solve this, the entire world needs to switch. There is enough demand for all countries to ramp up (or switch over) their own companies.
China had 1) pollution out the ass, they knew they needed it, and 2) new companies. In the grand scheme of things they are still ramping up their car ownership levels. So they had the choice of a) making a new ICE plant which would eventually switch to EV anyway, or b) a new EV plant The choice was simple.
This is a presidential order, IRA was an act of congress. This drilling ban could have been done immediately, and either way, IRA would have taken years to get through congress
And we're back to "why didn't they do everything, everywhere, all at once?"
It’s as though you didn’t read my comment at all. I said the presidential order could have been done right away, and IRA would take awhile regardless given there were more steps involved (an act of congress)
So he's too incompetent to have done both? Why did we tolerate him running for re-election?
