So the argument is that Donald called his puppet Tom on the phone, spelling out to him a bill that once enacted will be sent 2 years back in time, causing it to have at least some effect on emissions in 2025.

I get it now. Thanks Donald.

Your first reply was insightful, but this one is not a thoughtful take.

Power consumption and emissions are already increasing, and any regulatory changes in 2025 are not factored in to discussion of those numbers. It’s more interesting to discuss what these changes mean when they are a factor in 2026 and on.
