The Reagan administration RIFed _all_ of the Carter era alternative energy research work. Shut it down immediately and wouldn't even let them publish final reports.
And will continue to do so unless they are obliterated in the midterms and every election after…..they can NEVER be in office against n and all Must be rooted from every crevasse in government locally and nationally.
Reagan was a lazy, ignorant, racist puddle of pig shit with an IQ of naught. This explains why he is a Republican icon. If he were a diddler, they'd give him the god status that they gave to Taco the Clown. Taco is their one true god, now. Obviously.
This MF is a major reason the US isn't all on board (in fact we should be LEADING) the clean energy crusade. But he undermined it all. Now China looks to take the lead and we lag behind even Ethiopia, Bhutan, Iceland, Albania, DC of the Congo, Paraguay and Nepal. Pathetic.
Justice is waiting for him and all others that are responsible.
Very soon the consequences of AGW will bite hard, the reaction from people will become vicious and they will be hunting for those that knowingly made it happen.
