Deep dives

Trump's Energy Policy Principles

The Trump administration's energy policy remains consistently pro-fossil fuel and focused on American energy dominance, a philosophy that has not significantly changed from previous years. Despite challenges in the current economic climate, such as inflation and fluctuating consumer prices, the administration aims to lower energy prices dramatically for Americans. An emphasis has been placed on the need for increased domestic production to counteract rising prices while ensuring the stability of the energy industry. This approach also faces potential risks, as pushing for higher production could lead to a decrease in prices, which might undermine the very goals intended to stabilize the industry.
