Can the Earth survive!? Politico: ‘It looks like the end for Biden’s green bank’ – ‘Trump is slowly but surely dismantling his predecessor’s signature climate law’ The $20 billion green bank is ‘on the chopping block’
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/power-switch/2025/09/03/it-looks-like-the-end-for-bidens-green-bank-00541135 By BENJAMIN STORROW President Donald Trump is slowly but surely dismantling his predecessor’s signature climate law. Tax credits for electric vehicle purchases? Those end this month. $7 billion in Environmental Protection Agency grants to install solar in low-income communities? Canceled. And a $20 billion green bank? It’s on the chopping block, too. The last development […]
Why Dishwashers Are Quietly Disappearing From American Homes: ‘Federal efficiency standards transformed dishwashers into marathon cleaners’ – But Trump admin’s regulatory ‘rollback offers a rare win for function over dogma’
Gadget Review: When Efficiency Becomes Inconvenience: Federal efficiency standards transformed dishwashers into marathon cleaners. Modern machines take 2.5 to 4 hours per cycle—a far cry from the quick turnarounds families actually need. The Department of Energy’s push for water conservation limits new models to 5 gallons per cycle, with proposals dropping that to 3.2 gallons by 2027. You get cleaner dishes eventually, but “eventually” doesn’t work when kids need their lunch containers ready for tomorrow morning.

Reason Mag: Donald Trump’s Energy Department Saved Your Appliances: Decades of efficiency mandates have made dishwashers weaker, A.C. units feebler, and appliances more expensive. A new rollback offers a rare win for function over dogma. –
Marc Oestreich: My 1979 brick ranch creaks on into senescence, its heater, air-conditioning, fans, and water heater—bastions of a bygone era of appliance liberty—teetering. Replacing them likely means paying thousands of dollars for lesser-able machines. That’s been the story for decades: as tech leaps forward, appliances regress. Until now. …
Take electric motor mandates—these rules hit everything from your blender to your garage compressor. They aimed to tighten already-strict regulations and expand them to even more motors in everyday appliances. Ostensibly, the goal was to reduce electricity use and emissions. Sounds noble—until you realize what it does to the products we actually use.
These motors skimp on low-end torque, hobbling appliances that need a quick jolt—think A.C. units gasping to start or a blender stalling on ice. They’re slower to respond and less precise. And because they require rare earth metals and heavier materials, they make devices bulkier—your cordless drill suddenly feels like a lead pipe.
Billions in ‘nonprofit’ embezzling now largely fund America’s left – Trump admin nixes $7 billion Biden looting frenzy
https://nypost.com/2025/08/25/opinion/non-profit-groups-bank-billions-from-political-insiders/ By Post Editorial Board Starting to lift the lid off a far, far larger scam, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just nixed $7 billion in “advance payments” that Biden administration staffers aimed to divert to a “nonprofit” controlled by other Democratic insiders. The bigger scam being, of course, how the left (and lots of plain-old […]
Investors Fleeing Green Energy Scene After Death Of Biden’s Freebies
https://dailycaller.com/2025/08/26/investors-fleeing-green-energy-scene-after-death-of-bidens-freebies/ By AUDREY STREB Investors have been pivoting away from the green energy industry since President Donald Trump won the 2024 election, according to data from BloombergNEF.

How Fed Chairman Jerome Powell Played Biden’s Climate Games While Inflation Ran Rampant
“Jerome Powell’s transition from a man who understood his crucial role at the Federal Reserve to a man who was willing to pander to the climate ideologues at the Biden Administration was a key reason for the unbridled inflation and weak economy of the past few years,” Executive Editor and Publisher of ClimateDepot.com Marc Morano told the DCNF.
Morano: “Powell, who was facing opposition by climate activists during Biden’s term, is a case study of how officials who crave holding on to power are willing to sell out their principles and go against their own economic instincts.”
Huh?! CBS News: ‘Repealing rule to curb greenhouse gas emissions will increase gas prices’ – Why? Because ‘rescinding measures promoting EVs’ means ‘more consumers will purchase gas vehicles, resulting in higher gas consumption & high gasoline prices for everyone’
Climate Depot’s Marc Morano comments:
“According to the CBS News article citing a former Biden administration official’s analysis, if Americans were forced to buy EVs, and the Biden-era gas-powered car bans had gone into effect, demand for gasoline would drop and gas prices would then be ‘projected’ to be cheaper, because Americans would be forced to drive EVs. So by giving Americans a choice of what cars they want to drive, the Trump administration is raising gas prices and causing job losses. Huh?”

REPORT: Biden’s EPA hid comments from Dept. of Energy that undermined key part of EPA power plant rule
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/energy/biden-admin-epa-may-have-buried-comments-undermining-key-part-its-power By Kevin Killough The Clean Power Plan 2.0 was supported by a finding that carbon capture technology had been “adequately demonstrated.” The EPA sought and got comments from the DOE, which disputed that “demonstration.” Somehow those comments never made it into the administrative record. Former President Joe Biden, as well as his Democratic predecessor Barack […]
