Trump Administration Reverses Biden Green Energy Policies Nationwide

President Trump’s administration has launched a significant rollback of Biden-era climate and energy policies, focusing on boosting energy affordability and independence. Key actions include Congress probing climate-related lawsuits that have driven up energy costs, and the Department of the Interior ending preferential treatment for foreign-controlled renewable energy sources, particularly wind and solar, citing national security concerns. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin proposed revoking the 'endangerment finding,' a scientific basis for regulating greenhouse gases, which would dismantle many existing climate regulations and prevent future ones. Additionally, the Trump administration withdrew Biden-era restrictions on energy development in Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve, aiming to unlock the region’s vast oil and gas resources. These measures reflect a broader Trump strategy to prioritize affordable, reliable energy over climate regulations and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains for green technologies. Environmental groups are expected to challenge some of these rollbacks, but the administration frames these moves as critical for economic growth, national security, and energy dominance.
