Trump energy policy returns to production

 The Hill:

On his first day in office, President-elect Trump will issue a national emergency related to energy and also issue executive orders aimed at utilizing U.S. energy and specifically Alaska’s natural resources, incoming officials told reporters on Monday.

An official said that the national emergency was coming in response to high prices and would seek to unlock additional authorities to allow the U.S to act quickly.

The emergency would give the nation the ability to quickly build and develop energy, the person said, but the official did not provide specific details.

“The inflation crisis was caused by massive overspending and escalating energy prices, and that is why today I will also declare a national energy emergency. We will drill, baby, drill,” Trump said during his inaugural speech.

“America will be a manufacturing nation once again, and we have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have, the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on Earth, and we are going to use it,” he said.

The average U.S. gasoline price is currently $3.13 per gallon, according to the American Automobile Association.
...

Energy prices are about twice what they were during Trump's first term in office.   Biden's pander to the Climate Kooks has been very costly to use drivers and home heating.  Hopefully, energy prices will return to what they were before voters made the mistake of electing Biden and the Democrats.

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
