The current administration is executing a systematic dismantling of climate and clean energy protections while aggressively promoting fossil fuel expansion. Major regulatory actions include withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement and repealing the Endangerment Finding, which officially removes the requirement for the government to protect the public from greenhouse gas pollution. To achieve "energy dominance," millions of acres have been opened for oil and gas drilling, aging coal plants are being forced to stay online, and LNG export approvals have been expedited. Billions of dollars in clean energy grants and climate-smart investments have been frozen or canceled, including popular programs for solar energy, electric vehicle infrastructure, and disaster preparedness. Federal agencies like the EPA and NOAA are facing massive staff layoffs and budget cuts, while scientists are being silenced through the removal of "climate change" and other related terms from official websites and communications. These rollbacks extend to weakening fuel economy and appliance efficiency standards, actions projected to significantly increase long-term energy and fuel costs for consumers. Furthermore, critical safety and health measures have been targeted, including the proposed elimination of FEMA and the removal of protections against mercury, soot, and other toxic air pollutants.
