The repeal of the endangerment finding is a major setback for U.S. climate policy But perhaps a bigger question lingers for when the pendulum swings: what climate policy regime should come next? time.com/7378527/trum...

oof, @justinworland.com.... "economics and the growing demand for energy should continue to create opportunities for solar power and battery storage. But the speed and scale of the attempt to diminish wind power should underscore that nothing is safe" Great piece: time.com/7315119/trum...

But, if we step outside the climate bubble a bit, the full-throated push against wind is more than an anti-climate move. By targeting investments that are already in train and in some cases close to completed, Trump’s move strikes against the core of the free market and private enterprise. While past administrations have certainly changed subsidies and tightened or loosened regulatory requirements, targeting projects with active construction represents an unprecedented level of regulatory uncertainty that threatens the foundation of how major infrastructure gets built in America and puts government whims in the driver’s seat.

In climate and energy circles these days, it’s taken as almost a given that wind power has become the ugly duckling of clean energy even as other renewable sources face bright futures despite a hostile administration. Indeed, economics and the growing demand for energy should continue to create opportunities for solar power and battery storage. But the speed and scale of the attempt to diminish wind power should underscore that nothing is safe.

Trump’s anti-wind posture originates long before he took office for the second time in January. In his real estate developer days, he complained that wind turbines off the coast of Scotland were hurting business at his seaside golf course. And over the last decade he has offered tirade after tirade condemning the power sources for everything from killing birds to simply being ugly. In other words, whatever policy justifications the administration may offer, the opposition is at least in part personal.
