The US Senate on Monday voted in bipartisan fashion to advance a fossil fuel industry-backed permitting reform bill that would weaken the Clean Water Act and other key environmental protections to make it easier for the federal government to streamline energy projects—including climate-wrecking gas pipelines.
Why the fuck is a single Democrat voting for ANY MAGA legislation?
Because Americans’ feefees were hurt by their fossil fuels being a tiny-winy bit more expensive (still cheaper than much of Europe BEFORE the war) so now this bill makes future fossil fuel projects cheaper and also means data centers have to pay for their grid upgrade costs, so that should make electricity cheaper in theory.
Collusion. They are more friendly than you and your best friend
