Trump calls environmentalists “terrorists.” Yet he’s responsible for destroying more oil & gas infrastructure, and more fossil-fuel demand, than the most optimistic ecoterrorist could in their wildest dreams. He’s helping the very transition he abhors.

From Bloomberg Opinion (gift link above):
“At a White House event last week unveiling new agricultural initiatives (and a website called, for some reason, OnlyFarms), Trump railed against environmental regulations that, he said, had inflicted grave harm on farmers and the country. “The environmentalists, I mean, they are terrorists,” he said. “They were terrorists. I call them the environmental terrorists.”
“Even as he spoke, dozens of oil and gas fields, pipelines, refineries and export terminals lay damaged across the Middle East, thanks to the war Trump and Israel launched more than a month earlier. This infrastructure will take years to fully restore.”
