Trump authorizes increase in US energy production

 Townhall:

When President Donald Trump took office on January 20, he made U.S. energy production a top priority for his new administration.

"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. We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up again right to the top, and export American energy all over the world," Trump said during his Inauguration address from the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. "We will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do it."

Trump signed a series of executive orders directing the Interior and Energy Departments to unleash American energy production, established the National Energy Dominance Council and reversed President Joe Biden's ban on offshore drilling. In fact, the first executive order he signed in his second term was titled, "Unleashing American Energy."
...

Biden's oppositon to US drilling was one of the major mistakes of his adiministration.  It was likely based on the questionable assmption that energy prodcution produced global warming.  I have been on this planet for several decades and don't think that it is substiantaly warmer now.  In fact, I find the current temperatures mostly pleasant.

Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

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.
