Energy According To Trump

  • Invisible Leaks: Where “Clean” Natural Gas Falls Short

  • Trump Administration’s Slow But Sure Energy Dominance Agenda

    President Trump campaigned on a platform to make American energy great again. "We're loaded," he said, at a 2016 campaign appearance in North Dakota, referring to fossil fuel reserves. By unleashing those reserves and slashing regulations, Trump promised, he would usher in an era of "energy independence" and, ultimately, American energy dominance. In fact, on energy and environment, Trump is slowly making headway on those goals, with help from a trio of powerful and like-minded cabinet members.
