From HEATED:
"Here’s the good(-ish) news: as long as Trump doesn’t touch tax credits for wind, solar, and battery storage, the analysis says his presidency should only have a “limited” negative impact on the energy transition: 25 gigawatts (GW) fewer renewables than under a business-as-usual scenario by 2040.
But here’s the bad news: if Trump does repeal those tax credits—as both he and Project 2025 have proposed—the analysis says a “significant slowdown in the pace of the energy transition” would occur.
Specifically, a Trump presidency could hinder solar, wind, and battery deployment by 212 GW by 2040 if tax credits are ended next year, according to the report.
212 GW is, for context, a huge amount of renewable energy development to lose out on. It is enough to power 159 million homes—more than all the homes in the U.S."

We've got a polycrisis in the Permian. Air pollution, climate pollution and water pollution. All directly related to oil production. We were assured this would never happen. "In theory, injection wells fill confined formations, and their contents never escape." The theories aren't holding up.

The same robust science that tells us that +CO₂ is a growing risk & that stratospheric aerosols *might* reduce some of those risks in the near future, also shows that you can’t simply keep increasing CO₂ for ever and cancel it out. GHGs reduction must still be fast and total.
