Just another in a litany of dumb Biden ideas, ones which harm America and Americans.
May it R.I.P.

A federal judge in Louisiana has issued a ruling regarding a key climate change executive order issued by President Joe Biden shortly after he took office.
U.S. District Judge James Cain on Friday blocked Biden’s January 2021 order requiring consideration of the “social cost’ of carbon emissions when writing new pollution regulation rules, Fox Business reported.
Cain agreed with GOP attorneys general from energy-producing states who argued that Biden’s action to raise cost estimates of carbon emissions would likely escalate energy costs while also decreasing state revenues earned from energy production.
The injunction now blocks the Biden administration from using the higher cost estimate which seeks to put a dollar value on damages allegedly caused by every additional ton of greenhouse gases that are emitted into the atmosphere, Fox Business noted, adding:
President Joe Biden on his first day in office restored the climate cost estimate to about $51 per ton of carbon dioxide emissions after the Trump administration had reduced the figure to about $7 or less per ton. Former President Donald Trump’s estimate included only damages felt in the U.S. versus the global damages captured in higher estimates that were previously used under the Obama administration.
