- lmm 2y agoWhy would he do that? Even on a purely cynical level, isn't that something he relies on to sell Teslas?
- LadyCailin 2y agoNo. Electric cars as a class (when done correctly) are cheaper and better than petrol cars. It makes business sense, primarily. Also good for climate change, but that’s an irrelevant side effect.
- everybodyknows 2y agoFair question. In addition to the other reply, he'd be wary of at all challenging any point of Trump's committed direction.
- LadyCailin 2y agoOf course. The thing conservatives hate the most is facts. They almost always contradict their agenda.

Project 2025 linked in the current top comment here https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-21.pdf https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHA... says "NOAA consists of six main offices: [list here] Together, these form a colossal operation that has become one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry and, as such, is harmful to future U.S. prosperity. This industry’s mission emphasis on prediction and management seems designed around the fatal conceit of planning for the unplannable. That is not to say NOAA is useless, but its current organization corrupts its useful functions. It should be broken up and downsized."
