Trump’s $40B Oil Party: Climate Change’s Worst RSVP
Hold onto your reusable straws because President Trump’s flagship legislation is throwing the oil and gas industry a decade-long money bash with a whopping $40 billion in fresh subsidies. That’s right, from 2024 through 2034, fossil fuel friends get a golden parachute while Mother Earth probably screams in binary eco-programming code. The report didn’t name which companies will lap up these dollars, but imagine ExxonMobil and friends RSVP’ing with dollar signs in their eyes. This policy move, unveiled amidst growing climate change urgency and green energy pushes, is like giving a vegan a steak buffet and telling them to enjoy. Cozy, right?

Granting the oil and gas industry $40B over ten years is like giving a candy binge to a dentist’s convention. When they say 'environmental leadership,' they clearly mean how to out-spoil Earth with fossil fuel freebies.
If climate change was a party, Trump just gave the oil industry the keys, the keg, and the entire emergency fund to keep the trash off the floor.
Who needs renewable energy when you can just bankroll Big Oil for $40 billion and pretend the planet’s fine? Fiscal responsibility, fossil fuel edition!
