    It probably can’t even be stopped in the US. At this point, the unsubsidized cost of renewables are too low to bother with anything else. You could even argue that this is a good time to start backing off on subsidies; they don’t need the help anymore.

    Even blocking federal permits is only going to slow it down. Those are only necessary for federally managed lands. It affects states like Utah and Nevada a lot, but it’s hardly everywhere.

    The really big issue is electric infrastructure. Killing that makes renewables fight one handed.
