The best positive take I could make for the Trump policy is that the negative consequences of it are somewhat too late.
Solar, wind, and battery, even without the grants, is already quite cheap. You'd have to fine the industries to really slow down deployment at this point.
That means the 7B is mostly saved money with not too much negative impacts.
(I still think it's a bad idea, don't get me wrong, but it's probably not the worst thing in the world).

Hence the other part of this Evil Sinister Traitor plan, denying & rescinding permits for green energy blanketly: > The Interior Department released a new secretarial order Friday saying it may no longer issue any permits to a solar or wind project on federal lands unless the agency believes it will generate as much energy per acre as a coal, gas, or nuclear power plant. https://heatmap.news/sparks/interior-department-wind-solar-land-use https://heatmap.news/sparks/interior-department-wind-solar-l... Renewables aren't dense power! But America has land, and if we switch to renewables, maybe maybe the oceans won't rise & we won't lose a ton of land. God these people are literally the worst Captain Planet supervillain shitheels. Literally the worst hive of scum and villainy.
