Remember: Yglesias exists in Substack and twitter. He’s never once had to test his ideas before an actual policymaking body (legislative or regulatory) or a federal/state court. His ideas thrive in the chaos of online existence. He is, ultimately, a pundit with a large following. Nothing more.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...
Opinion | Obama Supported It. The Left in Canada and Norway Does. Why Don’t Democrats?

To state the obvious: Yglesias argues that Democrats should abandon the Paris Agreement.

The big problem with NEPA reform -- which I'd like to see NEPA reformers grapple with a bit more -- is that if you open the thing up, most of the legislators doing the "reforming" are hostile to it & just want to get rid of env. review entirely. It's not a good-faith process.
