A political historian is warning that President-elect Donald Trump's energy policies could come back to hurt the red states that propelled him into the White House.
Leigh Wright Rigueur, an associate professor of history at Johns Hopkins University, said the incoming president's goal to cut energy costs by pushing for an expansion of fossil fuels - "drill, baby, drill" - and rolling back green initiatives could end up harming his supporters because energy prices are usually outside a chief executive's control.
