Trump Pushes Fossil Fuel Revival With Energy Dominance Strategy
Since returning to office, Donald Trump has launched a sweeping overhaul of U.S. energy and environmental policy. His central aim is to reassert America’s “energy dominance” globally, even if it means reversing years of climate progress.
Launch of the National Energy Dominance Council
To lead this initiative, Trump established the National Energy Dominance Council, headed by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Energy Secretary Chris Wright. The council’s mandate is to boost fossil fuel production and swiftly eliminate existing regulatory barriers.
Rollback of Climate Commitments
- Continuing the course set during his first term, Trump not only reaffirmed the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement but escalated efforts by dismantling legal frameworks underpinning climate regulation. His administration:
- Eliminated pollution standards for coal-fired power plants
- Relaxed rules for automakers and heavy industries
- Halted major renewable energy projects, especially offshore wind initiatives
Restructuring the EPA
Led by new EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, the Trump administration is working to overturn a key 2009 scientific finding that classified greenhouse gases as a public health threat—a cornerstone of many federal climate policies. Zeldin has already introduced over 30 deregulatory actions in a single month, referring to climate change advocacy as a “climate religion” that must be challenged.
Consequences and Reactions
- Public Health: Nearly 70 coal plants have received temporary exemptions from emission limits on hazardous pollutants such as mercury and arsenic.
- Environment: Environmental groups warn of increasing pollution and a significant setback in U.S. environmental protection.
- Domestic and International Politics: These moves deepen internal divisions within the country and raise alarm among global partners committed to fighting climate change.
