In 2022, U.S. production grew by 3.6% to a new all-time high of 94.7 billion cubic feet per day.
When burned, that’s 60,000 tons CO2/day.

this has been true for every consecutive president: Obama more than Bush, Trump more than Obama, Biden more than Trump. it has more to do with growth than whose in the oval office
The president oversees the department of energy. They could do quite a lot about US emissions. We need to stop giving them a pass for not.
legislation like this must be passed by congress. giving the president this authority is not democratic. could work in China though and they have plenty emissions
why does everyone think executive departments dont have any authority over anything. The Department of Energy has authority over US energy policy and production. Yes giving the president this authority is democratic, it’s a goddamn elected position!
then what’s congress for?
Legislating
yes, this is where the laws come from the president enforces. the president is an enforcer. a president who acts without congress is authoritarian
Laws like The Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977 which created the department of energy and authorized it to oversee US energy policy and production.
they can set and enforce efficiency standards, yes. do you think that’s going to fix us emissions?
