U.S. president-elect
Donald Trump. |
Scroll through Donald Trump’s campaign promises or listen
to his speeches and you could easily conclude that his energy policy
consists of little more than a wish list drawn up by the major fossil fuel
companies: lift environmental restrictions on oil and natural gas extraction,
build the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, open more federal lands to
drilling, withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, kill Obama’s Clean Power
Plan, revive the coal mining industry, and so on and so forth ad infinitum.
In fact, many of his proposals have simply been lifted
straight from the talking points of top energy industry officials and their
lavishly financed allies in Congress.
