Maybe it would allow him to better use executive agencies to enforce environmental regulations already on the books?

There is a lot of low hanging fruit in the US, especially with transportation. The first thing I would do is run HSR from LA to Las Vegas and from Las Vegas to Phoenix.

The rail from la to lv has already been approved and supposedly slated for 2027

Yep. He's doing a lot, but not enough. And that's tough to communicate.
