Backed by unassailable science, the environmental movement told us for decades that it was essential to eliminate the use of fossil fuels to avoid a catastrophe. The public initially disregarded this advice on the basis that the catastrophe was too remote. When the impacts of climate change started becoming unpleasantly real, the public then decided it was too late to make any meaningful improvement, so there was no point in trying.
Joe Biden tried to change the terms of the debate by making green energy a jobs program. The rollout of the program was too slow to create many jobs during his term, so Trump managed to terminate it without much fuss.
Today, Trump is making a powerful case for clean energy, which has no world market or Strait of Hormuz, with his stupid war. Will the green team seize the moment? History says no.
