Easiest one, ending most of the stupid tarrifs.

Changing stupid energy policy that is propping up oil demand.

When China is selling batteries and solar below cost or at tiny profit, the federal government is effectively giving the subsidy to other countries.

When wind is the cheapest with the highest ROI we should be doing more of it.

For #1, didn't the court rule them as illegal? Sorry too much in the news cycles to keep tabs on.

If I recall correctly, the court ruled that the way Trump was doing them was illegal. So Trump started doing them via a different mechanism (or stated legal rationale, or something), and as far as I know the courts have not yet ruled on that new approach.

I don't know if the new Congress is going to be able to put a stop to this.
