"Conservative groups have crafted a plan for demolishing the federal
government’s efforts to counter climate change — and it wouldn’t stop with
President Joe Biden’s policies.
The 920-page blueprint, whose hundreds of authors include former Trump
administration officials, would go far beyond past GOP efforts to slash
environmental agencies’ budgets or oust “deep state” employees.
Called Project 2025, it would block the expansion of the electrical grid for
wind and solar energy; slash funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s
environmental justice office; shutter the Energy Department’s renewable energy
offices; prevent states from adopting California’s car pollution standards; and
delegate more regulation of polluting industries to Republican state officials.
If enacted, it could decimate the federal government’s climate work, stymie the
transition to clean energy and shift agencies toward nurturing the fossil fuel
industry rather than regulating it. It’s designed to be implemented on the
first day of a Republican presidency.
“Project 2025 is not a white paper. We are not tinkering at the edges. We are
writing a battle plan, and we are marshaling our forces,” said Paul Dans,
director of Project 2025 at the Heritage Foundation, which compiled the plan as
a road map for the first 180 days of the next GOP administration. “Never before
has the whole conservative movement banded together to systematically prepare
to take power day one and deconstruct the administrative state.”"
