He doesn’t care one [Iota](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/11/17/weather/hurricane-iota-tuesday/index.html) about global warming or what more oil drilling does to the environment. 🙈 His drive to open public lands to the worst kinds of extractive development really flummoxes me. I don’t think this is Teapot Dome, he’s not going to personally profit from those mines or wells. I’m not sure resource-extraction companies are clamoring for more mines or wells when supplies are glutted and demand is gutted. And pristine-ish nature is worth money from an outdoor recreation and tourism perspective, so it’s not like conservation is some hippy-dippy concept. Nobody would call Teddy Roosevelt that. 🙂 It seems Trump thinks nature is a waste of resources and a landscape of wells and pumps and pipelines is an image of progress, like he just dropped out of time from the pre-TR Industrial or Gilded Age. It almost seems like he wants Mordor for Mordor’s sake. 🙄 ---

Why off shore? Let’s start drilling **in and on** Mar-a-Lago. Maybe start with the putting green (there has to be one, right?). ---

Wouldn’t work. He sued in Scotland to stop an off-shore windfarm being built near his moribund golf course because it would spoil the view. The NIMBY is strong in this one and he’d move against it. ---

Its very simple. Liberals like the environment therefore conservatives must do everything in their power to destroy it. Its the same logic behind rolling coal, and opposition to energy efficient bulbs. ---

> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > Really, does it make a difference whether there’s a transition process in place? Trump didn’t have a transition team when he took office, and it’s not like his current administration has anything of value to pass along. Yeah. What I hope is that the Biden transition team is meeting with former Obama administration members to create a jump-start plan for catching up on the needed information about the past four years without help from the unwilling and/or incompetent Trump appointees. Which, given that Biden himself is a former Obama administration member, seems like it ought to be doable. ---
