Conservation groups sue the Trump admin to stop the Northern Corridor Highway

Trump's DOE fake "climate advisory" group were being organized, and their work being edited, by Travis Fisher, the lead lobbyist against climate policy and clean energy development at the Cato Institute — who, with chefs-kiss perfection, now works, I see, at The Abundance Institute. 😂

“We’ve been begging for something like DOGE for decades, I’m so excited it is happening,” Gov. Spencer Cox said in May.
Tonight I learned the Utah version, GRIT, is aiming to destroy the POPS program, dealing a terrible blow to the Springville Museum of Art and other museums throughout the state.

Insane to describe SLC as “largely built out” to justify destroying more of Great Salt Lake at a critical moment in it’s continued existence.
