Haaland Reverses Trump Oil, Gas Policy; ‘Climate Change’ Priority of Interior Dept.
Joel B. Pollak16 Apr 2021
Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland announced Friday that she was reversing former President Donald Trump’s policy promoting fossil fuel development on federal lands, and making climate change the priority in department decisions.
Under Trump’s policy, the U.S. came the world’s top oil producer and achieved energy independence, a long-sought goal. The energy industry boomed, helping to drive rapid economic growth, even as greenhouse gas emissions actually declined.
The Associated Press reported:
The orders revoke Trump-era directives that boosted coal, oil CL00, -0.63% and gas NG00, +1.13%leasing on federal lands and promoted what Trump called “energy dominance†in the United States. Haaland also rescinded a Trump administration order intended to increase oil drilling in Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve.
Haaland called the orders by her predecessors, Ryan Zinke and David Bernhardt, “inconsistent with the department’s commitment to protect public health; conserve land, water, and wildlife; and elevate science.â€
Collectively, the previous orders “tilted the balance of public land and ocean management without regard for climate change, equity or community engagement,†Haaland said.

The enviro-movement has always been intended to shut down American commerce and power-up world communism, hence America going down, and China skyrocketing up? Democrats fought for decades for China to get most favored trade status, guess what? It worked, comrade ! Now tie that with America denied its own resources, esp oil and you have empowerment of some of Americas most dire threats, Islam and Russia, who export a great deal of oil. China, Islam, and Russia all greatly favored by democrats, often against America, even in times of war. Any confusion left? Exporting our best technology to them, while demanding we return to barbaric frontier days, still confused? No internal combustion engines for us, nor cheap energy either.
Still confused? They are desperately trying to force America into another great depression, like the German socialist engineered to the Germans pre-WWII.
