Atmospheric scientist here. Let me tell you what was actually "slashed" today. Slashed: The Endangerment Finding — a 200-page scientific review upheld by the Supreme Court, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and reaffirmed by the National Academies of Sciences in 2025. Slashed: The legal authority to regulate carbon from cars, power plants, and factories. All of it. Gone in one afternoon. Now here's what you're "saving": Yesterday Trump ordered the Pentagon — the largest energy consumer on Earth — to buy coal electricity. Coal costs $69–$169/MWh. Wind costs $27–$53/MWh. Solar costs $38–$78/MWh. 99% of U.S. coal plants cost more to run than replacing them with brand-new solar or wind. That's your tax dollars buying the most expensive electricity on the market. By executive order. While the Peabody Energy CEO stood in the room. And the human cost of what you're "saving"? 460,000 American deaths linked to coal pollution in 20 years. Coal PM2.5 is 2.1x deadlier than other air pollution. (Henneman et al., Science, 2023) All to protect an industry that employs 44,000 people total. Clean energy employs 3.5 million.
