Could he not break the fossil fuel industry then?

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.

Also, when gas prices go up people get angry

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.

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.

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.
