Changes Are Coming. Who Gets To Make Them?

Sub­mit­ted by George McClel­lan

Among the many issues fac­ing Amer­i­cans apart from the fact there are still Democ­rats hold­ing offices, is the issue of the dying Green Rev­o­lu­tion leav­ing our coun­try­side lit­tered with giant ugly Chi­nese wind­mills, the ground beneath them lit­tered with the car­cass­es of thou­sands of dead eagles and oth­er rap­tors, as well as ren­der­ing farm land use­less for agri­cul­tur­al pur­pos­es by the instal­la­tion of thou­sands of acres of Chi­nese solar pan­els that are so eas­i­ly destroyed by any pass­ing thun­der­storm with hail in it.

The lat­est chap­ter in Amer­i­ca’s elec­tric pro­duc­tion saga unfold­ed recent­ly in a Seat­tle court­room where U.S. Dis­trict Court Judge Tana Lin, ruled that bil­lions of dol­lars Biden’s Con­gress allo­cat­ed for elec­tric EV sta­tions had to be released. Her rul­ing sent shock waves through state cap­i­tals and Wash­ing­ton’s pow­er cen­ters. Rarely has a judi­cial deci­sion been ren­dered that so clear­ly expos­es the fis­sures between fed­er­al author­i­ty and state rights.

Lin’s order to release allo­cat­ed bil­lions in EV charg­er sta­tion fund­ing to four­teen states isn’t about mon­ey, and we’re talk­ing seri­ous cash here, it’s about the fun­da­men­tal ques­tion of who gets to make deci­sions when Con­gress has already spo­ken. The judge did­n’t mince words. She ruled that fed­er­al agen­cies sim­ply can­not pause pro­grams Con­gress had fund­ed and, that’s the issue fac­ing politi­cians today. It’s a two sided coin for sure, and we already know, if we’ve been pay­ing atten­tion, that Con­gress has a less than 50/50 record of get­ting any­thing right and that Democ­rats are deter­mined to bank­rupt Amer­i­ca by any means avail­able.

We’ve watched New York state strug­gle with their EV charg­ing net­work. They had been count­ing on using rough­ly $120 mil­lion of their $175 mil­lion allo­ca­tion to con­tin­ue the EV charg­ing sta­tion non­sense and Trumps freeze hit them like a rock thrown through a police car win­dow. Con­struc­tion crews packed up and left the sites.  What’s notable is that not every state got relief. DC, Min­neso­ta and Ver­mont came up emp­ty-hand­ed because they could­n’t prove “irrepara­ble harm,” ie: the kind of legalese that makes these legal issues so frus­trat­ing for state plan­ners try­ing to cre­ate and sup­port their green infra­struc­ture. The big­ger issue of course, and not talked about, is that none of these Green Ener­gy schemes would be work­able with­out gov­ern­ment sub­si­dies. Cal­i­for­ni­a’s AG, Rob Bon­ta’s reac­tion to Judge Lin’s edict was pre­dictably tri­umphant for a state that is in near finan­cial col­lapse. Between the lines of his com­ments about Trumps “exec­u­tive over­reach,” lies seri­ous con­cern about fed­er­al author­i­ties chang­ing the rules after states have already start­ed ful­fill­ing Biden’s Green man­dates. But, we’ve got­ta be real here. Even with fund­ing flow­ing again on a sin­gle judges order, states still face mul­ti­ple tech­ni­cal hur­dles. Ari­zona con­trac­tors have com­plained that per­mit­ting delays required them to waste more time (and mon­ey) just deal­ing with paper­work than actu­al­ly installing charg­ing sta­tions. It’s all a scam!

Tomor­row’s 02 July dead­line for imple­ment­ing the Seat­tle Judges order remains. While the Fed­er­al High­way Admin­is­tra­tion stays qui­et about poten­tial appeals about EV sta­tions, state plan­ners are already revis­it­ing their blue­prints, but doing so cau­tious­ly lest anoth­er freeze be issued. It’s a sur­vival game and the Left­ists are play­ing hard. They’ve got noth­ing else.

A polit­i­cal earth­quake is roil­ing across Amer­i­ca. It’s not just in par­ty pol­i­tics where vio­lent change is hap­pen­ing but in our social and eco­nom­ic spheres as well. Sad­dled with Green adven­tur­ism, issues about main­tain­ing Amer­i­c­as Green elec­tri­cal grid is on the verge of col­lapse, espe­cial­ly in the heat of sum­mer. How can air con­di­tion­ing com­pete with charg­ing elec­tric vehi­cles when both are used at the same time (hun­dreds of ’em) that over­loads the grid? We’ve got to get real here. The sun and wind are use­ful for sail­ing boats on a lake or work­ing on a tan, but not for main­tain­ing a great coun­tries econ­o­my.

Remem­ber, free­dom is the goal, the Con­sti­tu­tion is the way. Now, get pre­pared. (01Jul25)
