Until USFWS higher ups & managers legally taken to task or at least their career takes a hit for selling out (=violating) the ESA, etc, nothing will change
Fact is, outside, people respect your integrity for standing up for the Law & imperiled species,inside you’re considered an opportunist & a sap
The U.S. spent $11B in the first week of the Iran War and have spent many times that in weeks since, dwarfing the subsidy China has given solar panels.

The $18 billion spent on subsidies for solar manufacturing by China since 2000 is half of what the US has spent on subsidies for oil every year since 2000.
There is no starker illustration of how badly US industrial & energy policy has been bungled.
