Deep dives
Trump's Day One Energy Orders
President-elect Trump plans to initiate a series of executive actions targeting energy and environmental policies as he resumes office. His approach includes a regulatory freeze, pausing all ongoing government actions to give his administration time to take control. However, many actions will be symbolic or merely the beginning of longer processes, particularly in areas like liquefied natural gas (LNG) project approvals. Actual project permits will require a detailed process to withstand potential legal challenges, meaning immediate approvals are unlikely despite promises of aggressive action.
