Environmental activists draft plan for Kamala Harris to clamp down on fossil fuels - Must Read Alaska
A new report from Bloomberg reveals that there’s a “Project 2025” under way for Kamala Harris, should she become president, and it involves taking an aggressive stance to cut fossil fuels and American energy production.
Bloomberg says the plan is largely secret and the environmental groups behind it are trying to keep undecided voters in the key battleground states from being spooked.
The plan involves using the president’s executive powers on Day 1 to:
1. Limit liquefied natural gas exports.
2. Shut down Energy Transfer LP’s Dakota Access Pipeline, which carries oil from North Dakota to Illinois.
3. Push for a swift end to oil and gas production using special emergency authority to bar crude exports.
4. Curb U.S. public investment in foreign fossil fuel projects.
5. Open a federal investigation of the oil and gas industry’s approach to the “climate crisis.”
“Environmentalists and former advisers have outlined their prescriptions for ways a victorious Harris could build on Biden-era climate initiatives — including the sweeping Inflation Reduction Act— to drive more US clean energy deployment and winnow planet-warming pollution worldwide. And some activists are pushing a harder line, developing blueprints for Harris to stanch flows of US oil and gas if the Democrat prevails over Republican Donald Trump,” Bloomberg writes in its Green Daily newsletter.
