“If in fact the federal government stops issuing approvals, a significant amount of the pipeline would be interrupted” says @americancleanpower.bsky.social's Jason Grumet
ah, I’d actually forgotten the 20 bizillion photos of an ugly, pouty, blank-faced man-child holding up illegible documents to show an aggressive and over-large Sharpie-scrawled “look mom, I can write” signature
these really are the stupidest of times.
