Weird how when there’s a Conservative in charge they have unlimited power to ruin the country, but the dems hands are so tied, he couldn’t possibly have done anything to stop the big bad oil companies.
He really can’t. Breaking the fossil fuel industry would require building a regulatory framework to do so, which would require congressional action. On the other hand, directing federal agencies to stop enforcing existing regulations and making internal decisions to undermine federal oversight of industry (aka breaking the regulatory framework) is much easier.
Any time I see a comment that says “oranges” and then there’s a comment below it that says "ah, so you’re saying ‘pineapples’. What a shit take, fuck pineapples."it turns out to be you, lately. Curious.

Could he not break the fossil fuel industry then?

Also, when gas prices go up people get angry
no, he can charge them with espionage, seize their assets, and make them fight it in a fisa court where they can’t see the evidence.
So instead of fighting against the system that’s actively destroying the environment, you decide to advocate for business as usual.
When the lesser of two evils is still an apocalypse, it’s time to change the system.
