Upon taking office, President Donald Trump began a significant rollback of existing climate change and renewable energy regulations, declaring a national energy emergency to expedite fossil fuel projects. This approach, which he framed as 'drill, baby, drill,' aimed to enhance domestic and international fossil fuel production by easing environmental regulations. In opposition, Democrats emphasized the increasing U.S. oil and gas production and touted the benefits of the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act in promoting renewable energy and job creation in response to the ongoing climate crisis, highlighted by alarming temperature trends in 2024.
President Donald Trump began dismantling his predecessor's climate change and renewable energy policies on his first day in office, declaring a national energy emergency to speed up fossil fuel development.
Democrats say that's a sham. They point out that the U.S. is producing more oil and natural gas than any other country and the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act boosted renewable energy at a critical time.
