The “Ministry of Truth” Has Spoken - Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE)
A critique of the federal administration's rewriting of the truth and dismantling of science under Trump's Orwellian "Ministry of Truth." This week's audacious acts include TVA extending aging coal plants to appease Trump, and the EPA abandoning its sole task to protect people and our environment at the cost of hard-working families.
