A new lobbying push will look to pitch Biden-era green corporate welfare and carbon tariffs as America First-aligned to the Trump administration and lawmakers, Axios reported Friday.
The Cleaner Economy Coalition (CEC) is a newly-formed 501(c)(4) entity that “sees an opening in the Trump era” to pursue carbon tariffs and save the 45X tax credit, a costly subsidy for green energy manufacturing unleashed by a bill — the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) — that did not receive a single GOP vote on its way to becoming law, according to Axios. The CEC is hiring lobbyists who formerly worked for President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson and former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and it will have a seven-figure budget at its disposal to try to convince Republicans to back policies long favored by greens and liberals.
“We need an approach that starts with promoting U.S. competitiveness. That has to be the central component to any U.S. climate policy,” Greg Bertelsen, who will lead CEC, told Axios. “We’re leaving huge economic points on the board today, and we are risking ceding enormous economic opportunity in the future.” more
New grift, same grifter.
Why does America need a Climate-Hoax policy?
Anybody still believing in this Globaloney-Warming/Climate Hoax bullshit is thoroughly brain-dead. Even the disingenuous maggots pushing it KNOW that it’s a HOAX and a way to separate taxpayers from their money – for their own benefits, of course, not for the benefit of mankind, or the Earth, or Gaia, or whatever-the-fuck these lying maggot assert.

Eliminate Lobbying.
A good bill will stand on it’s own.
Ugh, what’s that smell?
Did I step in something?
Dang, worse than that.
It’s grifters and frauds.
Fuck leftists!
Leftists think they’re clever with renaming things.
They really do think everyone else is stupid
Okay, well I’m fooled… not.
Last week Grok completely de-bunked anthropogenic climate change. It’s ovah. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/russellcraig1_microsoft-word-scc-grok-3-review-v5-1ccdocx-activity-7309284175973359618-4Nz0
A note re lobbying. We have a problem with banning what it’s turned into, called the First Amendment. Who knew in 1787 or so that we’d have these huge corporations, trade associations, and “organizations”. Same problem that gave us Citizens United.
