Trump’s Energy and Climate EOs Thus Far: Pt. 2
CCW 532 examined some of the executive orders (EOs) and policy memoranda President Donald Trump issued in the first hours of his administration to advance his goal of making America energy-dominant while creating jobs and shoring up national security. Below I discuss a few more of these actions and the responses so far.
Among Trump’s day-one actions was a regulatory freeze pending review. As far as I’m aware, this is an action every new presidential administration takes to halt the finalization of regulations proposed or issued by the previous administration in the last 60 days before they went out the door. This is especially consequential in Biden’s case because his administration embarked on an unmatched spending spree and regulatory flurry in the aftermath of Kamala Harris’ defeat. From expedited EV mandates to new appliance efficiency standards, to tax credits for used EV and alternative vehicle purchases, dozens of Biden’s slapdash late-term regs are now on hold while under review for approval or rejection by the Trump administration.
