Energy Exceptionalism: Promises Made, Promises Kept (so far, so good)

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- January 28, 2025

“Trump 45 was the most free-market President in history concerning energy and environmental policy. Expect Trump 47 to be more so.”

Energy: The Master Resource is poised to get much deserved, overdue respect in 2025. The termite aspirations of Biden/Harris puppet masters (think John Podesta et al.) are going to be reversed, and hopefully in a way where a resurrection is politically impossible.

Here are some quotations from Trump’s think tank AFPI and then from Trump himself before his election that indicate Promises Made, Promises Kept.

The America First Policy Institute

“A policy environment that fosters American industry and innovation is the critical foundation to powering a cleaner, more prosperous future for the U.S. and the world…. We must act to safeguard a legacy of prosperity and security for future generations, not a legacy of stagnation, uncertainty, and crippling energy inflation.”…

Trump Truth Bombs ‘Green’ Energy (Five EOs)

By Steve Goreham -- January 27, 2025

“Trump’s executive order bomb, followed by Congressional action to limit funds from the IRA and IIJA, promise to gut, or profoundly reshape, the U.S. green energy movement. January 2025 may begin a long decline for green energy and a return to sensible energy policy.”

But in his first day in office, the new president began a historic shift in US energy policy, away from “green” energy and back to hydrocarbon energy.

On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed five wide-ranging executive orders that radically change United States energy and climate policy. These actions restore efforts to promote coal, natural gas, oil, hydropower, nuclear, and biofuels, while curtailing support for wind and electric vehicles.…

Great News from ‘Bloomberg Green’!

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- January 25, 2025

“I terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful Green New Deal — I call it the “Green New Scam”; withdrew from the one-sided Paris climate accord; and ended the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate. We’re going to let people buy the car they want to buy.” (- Donald Trump, teleconference address to World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland)

The article from Bloomberg’s Green Daily, “Trump’s Climate Whiplash, came with the subtitle, “President Donald Trump’s nonstop stream of executive orders this week and what they mean for US climate progress.” The article follows verbatim given Trump’s immediate unmasking of climate alarm and reset from forced energy transformation. “Trump’s Week One ended with a heap of [seven] climate rollbacks,” Bloomberg Green began.

President Donald Trump wasted no time in laying the groundwork for a sweeping anti-climate agenda, signing a series of executive orders just hours after being sworn into office that seek to unravel former President Joe Biden’s policies and double down on fossil fuel extraction.…
