The Trump campaign is promising to rescind Biden administration energy-sector regulations intended to curtail greenhouse gas emissions to help the nation reach international climate targets.
The move, if former President Donald Trump is reelected, would set a future Trump administration for a repeat of its first-term policies, in which a number of previous regulations related to energy and climate were either scrapped or weakened.
On a call with reporters ahead of Trump’s campaign speech Thursday in Potterville, Mich., former Trump administration Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said current EPA regulations would force the retirement of power plants, ultimately requiring utilities to shift to an inadequate supply of “unreliable” wind, solar and battery storage.
