Even if Trump wins and guts EPA like he did between 2016-2020, industry knows that it gets flipped back once he's out. They knew this back in 2016-2020 and planned for it. I'm an environmental consultant and saw this first hand with my industrial/manufacturing clients. Plus, most companies now are international and tend to follow the most stringent environmental policies when it comes to their own internal directives, environmental stewardship, etc. Sometimes EPA/States are more stringent and sometimes the European Union or country specific regs are more stringent. And yes, some Chinese environmental regs are more stringent than EPA's and in China, you don't want to be breaking the law as courts are swift and you'll go to jail.

20+ years ago, publicly-held companies saw little value in environmental stewardship, reduce/reuse/recycle, ESG, etc. Now, there is real money in it (i.e. saved money) and shareholders expect companies to be good stewards of the environment. There has been a MASSIVE shift in the last 10 years in how companies view environmental stewardship. In most cases, only the smaller companies I work with struggle with it, throw their arms up in frustration, and thumb their noses at it. It's my job to show them that it isn't remotely as expensive as they think and in many cases, I can help them avoid many of regulatory hurdles by simple and cheap/free process changes.

Can this be true?
Bozo promised to install thousands of EV charging stations. Only 7 have been built.
03/28/2024
But now, more than two years after Congress allocated $7.5 billion to help build out those stations, only 7 EV charging stations are operational across four states.
But after two years, that program has only delivered 7 open charging stations with a total of 38 spots where drivers can charge their vehicles, according to a spokesperson for the Federal Highway Administration. (The funding should be enough to build up to 20,000 charging spots or around 5,000 stations, according to analysis from the EV policy analyst group Atlas Public Policy.) Stations are open in Hawaii, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania and under construction in four other states.

Wow to these guys really suck, no wonder they are in government, they would have had their ass's fired in the private sector by now. Where is Pete Buttigieg? Maternity leave again?

You couldn't be more wrong. ESG is going nowhere and most shareholders expect/demand companies to be good stewards of the environment. The increase in ESG services during mergers and acquisitions has been exponential over the past 5 or so years. I work directly in international M&A. ESG is often a M&A evaluation task of the private equity and large publicly held companies I work with. It's only increasing and is one of the largest growing sectors in my firm, book of business wise.

You can say otherwise but I work in this arena. I see and work in it daily.

And this? And I coulda post a 1000 of these from every source imaginable and I'm sure your response will be the same. You and people like you are the ones that need to be smarter. And I should know. My grandfather went around taking names from headstones at cemeteries and putting them on ballots to get Johnson elected.

Larry Fink (BlackRock) says ESG is so yesterday and the useful idiots clap like seals and say please sir can I have another.

BlackRock’s Fink Calls For Energy Pragmatism, Omits ESG From Annual Letter

In the 2024 Chairman’s Letter to Investors, Fink avoided the phrase ESG. This is not a surprise. Following the conservative backlash of 2023, Fink stated he will no longer be using the term ESG, as it had become too political. He is opting instead for terms like stakeholder capitalism, sustainable investing, or climate investing.

Odd how so many states are devesting their portfolios from Black Rock and Vanguard over ESG when ESG doesn't exist?
