What can you do.
Call 202 224 3121 and scream your bloody lungs out.
Let these bastads know, republican or democrat that we're not taking it and will primary every politician that sells out wildlife and/or our last few wild places.

The good news is we all know there is no national energy emergency. What there is, is price gouging and an attack on renewables from a dying industry, fossil fuels.

They've been bribing congress and presidents since their inception.

At it's most base level, economics will prevail.
Invoking the National Emergencies Act, Trump declared the first-ever national energy emergency to facilitate leasing, production, transportation, and refinement of energy resources on federal lands. The order directs multiple agencies, including those responsible for implementing the Endangered Species Act (ESA), to operate under emergency provisions, which often allow for truncating important consultations and other processes designed to limit environmental harm. The ESA’s emergency rules, once invoked, require the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service to do nothing more than issue nonbinding recommendations to other federal agencies on ways to mitigate harm to species and habitats from agency projects. Formal consultation with the agency on the project’s impact on threatened and endangered species is deferred until the emergency is deemed to be under control—by which time the harm has already occurred. To facilitate the order’s goals, the emergency declaration also requires four meetings per year of the Endangered Species Act Committee, which has met only six times previously in the ESA’s entire 50-year history. The committee—often referred to as the “God Squad”—may, under certain circumstances, exempt a federal agency’s action from the prohibitions of the ESA, giving it the authority to potentially doom a species to extinction. Importantly, many of these orders require additional actions from Congress or federal agencies to achieve the stated objectives, which provide opportunities for the public to oppose those actions.
