President Donald Trump is taking a flamethrower to former President Joe Biden’s radical left “climate” agenda with a series of executive orders aimed at boosting domestic fossil fuel energy production.

The series of orders also contain a declaration of an “energy emergency,” which should protect the administration from some, but not all, legal actions aimed at stopping new drilling and other energy-related production.

“The breadth of the decisions may well be the most dramatic shift in U.S. energy policy since the response to the ban on oil exports from Arab members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in 1973,” Just the News reported.

After being sworn into office, President Biden signed several executive orders, including rejoining the Paris Agreement, a nonbinding international accord aimed at limiting greenhouse gas emissions to prevent global temperatures from rising more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Following that, his climate agenda unfolded through a series of regulatory actions over the past four years. The outlet added that these included new appliance efficiency standards, a halt on liquefied natural gas export permits, and the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) power plant regulations.

Trump’s “energy emergency” plan emphasizes support for mining critical minerals essential for national security, emergency approvals for energy resources on public lands, and streamlining the development of energy infrastructure. In a separate executive order, Trump outlined guidelines for the development of energy resources in Alaska.

Another order promotes exploration and production related to offshore drilling, reversing one of Biden’s last actions against fossil fuels. This order also cancels several executive orders related to climate that were put in place by Biden. Additionally, Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Agreement.

Jeff Reynolds, senior editor for Restoration News, suggested that Trump’s sudden and clear rejection of Biden’s climate agenda might stem from hindsight. While Trump recognized the significance of energy and a supportive regulatory environment, Reynolds noted that he seemed more patient during his first term.

However, this patience changed after witnessing the extent to which the left would act once Biden took office.
