Feeling completely gutted and hopeless. Not sure what I'm supposed to do. Fearful for my friends and family.

Okay but I already said he could have done more with my very first comment, we're not here to talk about the things he didn't do. He at least offered the fewest Offshore Leases of any recent administration and instead the administration invested about 70 Million USD into offshore wind projects, four such commercial projects should be operational sometime next year.

While automakers made a fool of his administrations fuel economy standards by simply making larger vehicles that don't fall under the regulations, his administration did clearly make an attempt to increase fuel economy of gas vehicles. He also provided new tax credits for purchased EVs and made efforts to replace all federal vehicles with electric.

Again, he could have done more. I think a lot of his plans fell short or outright failed. But he was a good president.
