A sad reminder that the MAGA wing of the Republican party continues to be against most anything that can actually help turn around climate change.

With Michigan being a pretty competitive state, and the unions being largely Democrat, I assume this is his pitch to try to pry some of those union voters away by scaring them about their jobs.
And yeah, decimate. “I do not think this word means what you think it means.”
Blue collar workers in Michigan are not the Blue Wall they once were (just over half ~56% voted for Biden over Trump in 2020, better than what Hillary got at ~53% - but in the good old days, that would have been close to 100%) And they’re <15% of those who are employed in the state now compared to >25% as recently as 1989.
