President Donald Trump declared a national energy emergency on his first day in office, citing high energy prices. However, experts argue there's no actual crisis, pointing to record levels of U.S. oil and gas production. Even amidst President Biden's focus on renewables, fossil fuel output has soared. The declaration is labeled as unprecedented and potentially misuses presidential power. Although challenges exist, such as growing electricity demand and an outdated electric grid, concerns abound regarding shifting focus toward fossil fuels over sustainable energy alternatives.
It's unprecedented and really represents an egregious misuse of presidential power, primarily designed to accelerate fossil fuels.
Energy experts say there's no such crisis-and that ramping up fossil fuels while curtailing other resources like wind power will actually hurt America's energy landscape.
