Jefferson, Adams, and the Environment - Legal Planet

The Fourth of July calls to mind that date in 1776, but another Fourth, exactly fifty years later, deserves to be remembered.  On that day in 1826, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams- –two architects of American Independence who later served as President -–both died, marking the end of an era.  We tend to think that earlier Americans saw nature as merely something to be conquered and exploited, but that wasn’t true of either one of these two Foundi…Virginia, United States · VirginiaRead Article

Trump Slashes CO2 Regs Behind War on Energy

100% Right coverage: 3 sources
(Liberty Sentinel)—The Trump administration just dealt another blow to the anti-energy, anti-prosperity agenda pursued by the Biden administration underpinned by the man-made “climate change” hypothesis. Under the proposed repeal of previous “climate” regulations on energy production announced this month, many of the power plants targeted for destruction could remain open, and CO2 would no longer be considered dangerous “pollution.” Naturally, t…Donald Trump · United StatesSee the Story
