Red state town feels 'stabbed in the back' by Trump move: 'So much had already been done'


The Trump administration rescinded a $500 million grant for the Heidelberg plant in Mitchell to trap and bury greenhouse gas produced by cement manufacturing as part of its ongoing purge of funding for projects perceived to be linked to global warming, reported the Washington Post.
“This was going to be a demonstration project for the entire country,” said Republican Mayor Don Caudell. “Part of what is disheartening for us is so much had already been done and spent on this project, and now it has all come to a halt.”

Indiana Republicans were thrilled by the project and joined Biden administration officials at its unveiling, but now Mitchell is losing 1,000 temporary construction jobs and three dozen long-term positions at the plant.

“People feel like they have been stabbed in the back,” said Doug Duncan, a fourth-generation steelworker and president of the local union. “This was an investment in the long-term future of this plant and the cement industry. It would have allowed us to capture 2 million tons of carbon. Now, that future is uncertain.”

3. I think the proper way to thank President Biden would have been to vote for

his Vice President in 2024. Sucks to be you, Indiana. And thanks to your racist, misogynist fecklessness, the rest of us are going to suffer under worsening climate change.

Fuck you, Indiana…
