Donald Trump has a long history of opposition to wind power, both fighting against a farm near his Scottish golf course and restricting it as president.

Donald Harris introduced the Climate Equity Act , which would have transformed America ’s energy industry while protecting the most economically vulnerable and she ran hard on promoting renewable energy plans in 2019 .

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton agree on higher tariffs on imported solar panel imports.

Trump has denounced what he calls Biden ’s kamikazee climate regulations’ as an absence of action on climate, rather than efforts in that direction, that would lead to certain death.

The Democrat platform sets the goal of making; “Our farm sector the worlds first to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 ”.

Project 2025 lists climate change as one of the things the National Security Council should deprioritize in communications.

This means that fears the US could be drawn into conflicts caused by a hotter world could not be communicated to the troops who might have to do the fighting as a result.

Some Republican -controlled states effectively banned the teaching of climate science in state schools.
