Trump has set a strong energy agenda. Here are all the key steps he took on the first day

In the first hours of his presidency, President Donald Trump has launched a series of executive orders to increase fossil fuel production and reverse America’s commitment to combating climate change.

It’s unclear what impact Trump’s initial actions will have on the energy industry. CEOs of Exxon And Chevron Oil and gas production levels are dependent on market conditions and cannot be meaningfully changed in response to Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” demand, he said. America has been the world’s largest producer of oil and gas for years. And some of Trump’s orders are likely to be challenged in court.

Once again, the president made a clear political statement that the US is abandoning the Biden administration’s focus on climate change and transitioning to clean energy sources.

Instead, Trump is prioritizing fossil fuel projects to “consolidate the United States into the future as a global energy leader.” Here are the key steps Trump has taken on power so far.

Trump in 2016 National power emergencyNoting that the United States faces “grossly inadequate and intermittent energy supplies and an increasingly unreliable grid” that threatens national security.

Demand for electricity is expected to increase in the coming years from data centers supporting artificial intelligence and expanding domestic production. PJM Interconnection, the largest grid operator in the US, has warned that it could face electricity shortages as coal plants retire faster than new capacity can be connected to the grid.

Trump has directed federal agencies to designate and use statutory emergency authorities to facilitate production, transportation, refining and generation of domestic energy sources. Directs agencies to use all available emergency authorities to expedite new energy infrastructure projects.

Trump ordered the United States to start withdrawing from the territory Paris Climate Agreement. The landmark international agreement seeks to limit pre-industrial temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

According to the agreement, a country can withdraw from the agreement one year after giving notice of its intention to withdraw. But Trump’s executive order says the U.S. will consider the withdrawal effective upon receipt of written notification from the UN secretary general.

Trump has scrapped the Biden administration’s goals for half of new car sales to be electric vehicles, for the electricity grid to be free of carbon pollution and for the economy to produce net zero emissions.

Trump issued an order to revoke Biden. Ban on oil and gas drilling In most US coastal areas. It’s unclear whether Trump actually has the authority to do so, and the order is likely to face litigation. A federal court has rejected a similar order issued by Trump in his first term to reverse President Barack Obama’s decisions to protect waters in the Arctic and Atlantic oceans.

Trump issued an order on Monday aimed at raising production Natural resources in Alaska. The order prioritizes the development of liquefied natural gas projects and directs the federal government to expedite licensing and leasing of energy projects in the region.

The president reversed the Biden administration’s stance on new liquefied natural gas export facilities. Trump ordered the energy secretary to begin reviewing new LNG projects as soon as possible.

Trump ordered all federal agencies to immediately stop the funds that are made under the agency Inflation Reduction ActBiden-era climate legislation that funded clean energy.

The President specifically ordered a freeze on funding for electric vehicle charging stations. He also instructed his administration to end subsidies and other policies that support electric vehicles.

Trump Target wind power By independent executive order. The President has temporarily suspended new or renewed leases for offshore and onshore wind projects. It also stopped leasing wind power projects on the Outer Continental Shelf.
