Trump to return to a robust energy policy
Former President Trump’s electoral victory will likely mean a significant shift in U.S. energy and environmental policy.
His return to the White House next year is expected to lead to a rollback of a number of federal environmental protections and an increase in U.S fossil fuel production and use in the long term.
The former president’s positions on energy and climate starkly contrast with his successor’s. He has frequently denied or downplayed the issue of climate change, and in his first term oversaw the rollback of more than 100 environmental rules and the U.S.’s withdrawal from the global Paris climate agreement.
On the campaign trail, he has said he would once again pull the country out of the accord — which President Biden rejoined in 2021 — and rescind Biden administration regulations on cars, power plants and household appliances, as well as unspent money from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Biden’s signature climate law.
He has also pledged to boost domestic oil and gas production, which has reached historic highs under the Biden administration. During his first term, Trump sought to open up more opportunities for new drilling on federally owned lands, as well as offshore drilling.

The US needs to roll back Biden's goofball restrictions on drilling for oil and gas. There is no sound argument for the restrictions Biden placed on drilling in the ocean. The US oil and gas industry is capable of drilling wherever it thinks it can find the material that fuels the US economy and transportation.
