Trump's Border Wall Construction Destroys 6,500-Year-Old Arizona Geoglyph – Older Than Stonehenge
Arizona's 6,500-year-old Las Playas Intaglio, the oldest dated geoglyph in the Americas, was irreparably damaged by border wall construction in April 2026.

The real question is how this Permitting Reform bill expands global emissions. Most of the fossil infrastructure that will get built without review will be used for methane-gas exports. Advocates’ claim that US emissions will go down is like the three card monte of the campaign for this bill.

My real question is: since we won’t get a majority in Congress who will pass policy that will actually jump start clean energy & squash dirty energy what tactics are going to be most effective to make this happen anyway? I’m seriously frustrated

At $4.00/ US gallon, driving the 32 MPG car it replaced, would have cost us $134 to go the same distance. We saved about $95 in fuel costs in 3 months. Driving on gas would have been 3.4x more expensive. Switch from fossil fuels for long term savings. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

Arnold is also a misinformer. Trump has not “paused” new off-shore wind. That’s misleading. And Keystone XL would bring Canadian crude down to Gulf Coast refineries. Its completion would have very little effect on home energy costs, or even gasoline prices, given Iran — speaking of misleading.
