No, the basis is that the EPA has exceeded its regulatory authority by coming very close to ending ICE vehicles with its new rule. While I agree with what the EPA is doing with it’s new tailpipe emissions rule I also wonder at the advisability of letting politically appointed technocrats make such sweeping changes.
It will be a good thing THIS time but will it always?
The progress isn’t reported on nearly enough and it leaves people feeling cynical and hopeless.
It isn’t just burning coal either as US Production of coal is also down nearly 60 percent from its peak.
I’m still not sure we can get them ALL turned off by 2035 but we are on a clear long term trend-line of coal reduction.
Can’t wait to see the articles in 10 years about how major countries are phasing out coal in the next 10-20 years.
The US still has work to do but have you SEEN the decline in coal use here over the past 15 years? Right now I think the US is back to using the same amount of coal that it did in 1965! As a percentage of energy use it’s at the level it was in 1949!
Coal use in the United States absolutely fallen off a cliff since 2008.
And it seems to have gone up from 2020 to 2022
Russian Natural Gas is gone and they closed their Nuclear Power Stations so back to coal they went!
Sure but in the article he says that he hadn’t even heard of it until some friends mentioned it “last month”, which would have been March of 2024. Taking a few weeks to feel it out is one thing but to have not even know it existed until last month is wild.
How is it that Cory Doctorow hadn’t hear of Kagi until March of 2024? It’s been widely discussed in tech spaces for quite a while now!
I started railing about the corrupting influence that Online Sports Betting has had on Pro AND COLLEGE sports two years ago. It’s so blatantly god damned obvious when a Ref, or Refs, start bending the game towards a certain outcome. Last year I started noticing a trend towards drastic reffing changes at halftime and started joking about “Well, guess Vegas called with the payoff.”.
It’s ruining Sport.
This legislation may have gone down better if the EU wasn’t simultaneously planning to put more Environmental Protection Laws on their own farmers while opening up their market to South American farmers! Even setting aside the food security and job issues this would create in Europe how do you overlook the fact that shipping all of that food from South America to Europe is bad for the environment?
To become a “Carbon Neutral Continent” the EU was essentially trying to do the same with South America and Food that the West has done with China and Bulk Manufacturing…keep its own hands clean by outsourcing the mess to somewhere else.
I had a Z Flip 3 and didn’t notice the crease while I was using it. The bigger problem, and the reason I don’t have one anymore, is because the damn screen broke (delaminated) 6 months in and Samsung wouldn’t fix it.
The Chevy Bolt is luxury? Come again?
Because the Internet is for porn. Always has been, always will be.
That is absolutely what would happen. I’m a mod for a sex positive community on reddit and we tried this. Once a user managed to get into the private / closed sub they no longer wanted to post in the main / public one and that caused all kinds of problems.
No it acknowledges that changes that can be made from one administration to the next.
This took nearly 30 years.
I haven’t said that nor would I but $GovernmentAgency isn’t a synonym for “The Government”. What’s being discussed are the limits of an Agency attached to the Executive Branch relative to the power of the Legislative Branch.
This, this right here is what it means.
The Trump Administration Rolled Back More Than 100 Environmental Rules.
That’s what can happen when an Agency of the Executive “does things” on its own authority.
How’s that been working out for the last 20 years?
