Trump admin’s decision to redefine energy in a way that excludes solar and wind contradicts economic trends and market realities.

Solar and Wind drive economic growth specifically red states and omitting renewable energy from its definition is misrepresenting the energy sector/distorting policy.

In all my years in and studying disaster management, I have never seen a president (elect) blame a jurisdiction WHILE the disaster was still out of control. It distracts, is cruel to first responders and victims, and could impede effective response.
