wow I want some of whatever psychedelic you're on. That shit would never happen. Any Democrat that the oligarchs allowed to get elected would never do anything that actually threatens their economic interest.

    I agree with you to a point, but the reason Trump's administration has had to try to roll back restrictions placed against such companies during both his administrations is because those regulations were indeed signed in.

    When were the regulations signed in though? In an era different from today. Without major reform or minor revolution we wouldn't be able to get back to that era.

    Biden passed the 2024 Powerplant regulations that they are rolling back now, and Obama passed the clean power plan 2015 built on the 2009 greenhouse gas engagement finding performed during his first term.

    So the eras were the last 3 times Republicans were not in office
