What is your stance on climate change short term negative impacts on loss of jobs and or hurting the economy?
Biden keeps pushing EV mandates ,but we do not have the infrastructure to charge them and they are 2X the cost of gas powered vehicles in many cases. Bow the Biden EPA is going to after manufacturing plants, their latest change will cost 1 million jobs, with Michigan being impacted the most.

One Biden manufacturing regulation could wipe out up to 1 million jobs, business leader says
The Biden administration's new air quality rule was finalized in early February after being proposed over a year ago
Timmons warned that Michigan – a key swing state with a large manufacturing base – could feel the brunt of the new regulation and that the impact on manufacturers will be felt throughout the Great Lakes State.
"Michigan would be one of the states hit hardest. And if new manufacturing investments dry up, that spills over to the rest of the state economy. It affects the family trying to sell their home, the teacher hoping for new investments in schools, the students looking for job opportunities here in the state," Timmons warned.
"And to what end? You cannot solve the world's environmental challenges by driving manufacturing investment away from the United States to countries with lower standards," he added.
President Joe Biden's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently finalized an air quality rule that the manufacturing industry is warning could wipe out one million jobs and undermine efforts to build new manufacturing facilities in America.
Jay Timmons, president and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), is set to sound the alarm about the regulation in his annual state of manufacturing address on Thursday in Roseville, Michigan, according to an advance copy of his remarks provided to FOX Business.
"In his State of the Union Address next month, President Biden will probably take credit for what manufacturers have achieved. That's fair. I know he cares deeply about manufacturing," Timmons explained. "As he often says on the road, 'This nation used to lead the world in manufacturing, and we're going to do it again.'"
"But what he won't tell you is that his federal agencies are, at this very moment, working to undermine his manufacturing legacy – those agencies are undermining your success. In fact, just two weeks ago, they announced one big regulation that could wipe out up to 1 million jobs," Timmons warned. "It's referred to as National Ambient Air Quality Standards or PM2.5."
"It's not the name that matters. It's the consequences. It's stricter than rules they have even in Europe. And in vast portions of the country, we will barely be able to build new manufacturing facilities as a result," Timmons added.
The EPA initially proposed the regulation in January 2023 and issued a final version of the rule this year on Feb. 7. The rule tightens the NAAQS for fine particle pollution or PM2.5, which refers to particulate matter two and a half micrometers or less in diameter, by lowering the air quality standard from 12 micrograms per cubic meter to 9 micrograms per cubic meter.
EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in announcing the rule that the "final air quality standard will save lives and make all people healthier, especially within America's most vulnerable and overburdened communities." The EPA says the revision will prevent "up to 4,500 premature deaths and 290,000 lost workdays, yielding up to $46 billion in net health benefits in 2032."
