Trump’s Example to the World: Cull Activists to Achieve Energy Abundance

Simply by following the lead of U.S. President Donald J. Trump, national leaders of developing countries can clear away obstacles to rational energy policy that have been erected by climate activists.
On April 8, President Trump signed an executive order titled “Protecting American Energy from State Overreach,” a bold step to counter what he described as ideologically driven assaults on his nation’s energy development. The order declares that “American energy dominance is threatened when state and local governments seek to regulate energy beyond their constitutional or statutory authorities.”
The declaration cites examples of states imposing “significant barriers to interstate and international trade” and “arbitrary or excessive fines through retroactive penalties” on energy producers – actions that undermine not just economic vitality but the very principles of federalism.
More than a domestic policy tweak, President Trump’s announcement can be taken as a clarion call to nations worldwide to rein in obstructionism – masquerading as concern for the environment – that cripples energy projects, impedes economic development and threatens national security.
