As President-elect Trump prepares to take office, sources indicate that his administration is poised to reverse many of President Joe Biden's energy policies through a series of executive orders. President Biden, upon assuming office in 2021, had signed orders to rejoin the Paris climate accords and emphasize the importance of science in public health and climate initiatives. Over the subsequent four years, the Biden administration focused on promoting electric vehicles and implementing regulations to increase the adoption of EVs and fuel-efficient hybrids.
Trump's anticipated actions include withdrawing from the Paris accords, rolling back restrictions on offshore and federal land drilling imposed by Biden, and rescinding orders related to climate considerations in foreign policy and corporate disclosure of climate-related financial risks. Additionally, Trump is expected to lift Biden's pause on liquefied natural gas exports, halt offshore wind activities on the East Coast, and potentially reauthorize the Keystone Pipeline permit, although construction on the pipeline remains indefinitely suspended.
