The Pyromaniac’s Progress

by Jerome Betts

“Trump’s distress at wind turbines now holds global, rather than merely golfing, implications.
As president he has banned renewable energy projects from federal lands and signed a spending
bill that kills off tax credits that were fostering a boom in new, clean energy supply.”
The Guardian “Down To Earth” newsletter

A law and climate change denier,
Star of the fossil fuel fans’ choir,
A POTUS who’s a planet-fryer?
Oh, as the flames climb ever higher,
May Mar-a-Lago feel the fire.
