it would block the expansion of the electrical grid for wind and solar energy; slash funding for the Environmental Protection Agency's environmental justice office; shutter the Energy Department's renewable energy offices; prevent states from adopting California's car pollution standards; and delegate more regulation of polluting industries to Republican state officials.

McNamee outlines cutting key divisions at DOE, including the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations and the Loan Programs Office. He has called climate change a “progressive policy.”

But that increase in state power wouldn’t apply to California, which has a history of setting more aggressive environmental standards than those of the federal government under a Clean Air Act waiver. The Project 2025 plan would “ensure that other states can adopt California’s standards only for traditional/criteria pollutants, not greenhouse gasses.”

Cool!

    A plan to deconstruct the government is just the beginning of what Republicans will expect from their presidential candidate

      The dictatorship of the proletariat has already been established (the workers vote Republican we all know), so it’s only normal that it should start to wither away

    prevent states from adopting California's car pollution standards;

    Doesn't that basically amount to getting the special catalytic converters and forcing smog checks on people.

    I'm sure it will be terrible. Also why don't they want to let California tackle climate change that just seems needless

    Isn't "republican" a bit of a weasel word there.
