Donald Trump has taken the nation’s energy policy by the horns with a wave of executive orders that could make even the most determined environmentalists cringe. With the onset of what he calls the “Golden Age of America,” the new administration is putting preposterous notions of a fossil-fuel-free future to bed—right next to a multi-decade-old pumpkin spice latte that liberals pretended to care about.
Presidents usually walk into office with a grip on the reins: either they’re placating voters who loved the last guy, or they’re trying to strike down what came before. Trump, flying his own banner, is doing both. He can lean on some established victories while charting an audacious new course away from the overly green dreams of the current administration and its climate crusaders. The sheer number of executive orders is less a quaint detail and more a bullhorn announcement that America is open for business when it comes to energy—real energy.
Trump has pulled his magic wand out of storage and is ready for some good old-fashioned drilling, digging, and, yes, burning of fossil fuels. The last administration may have thought it was a good idea to put a stranglehold on oil and gas production under the guise of saving the planet, but Trump’s new policies hit the brakes on the climate change express and instead hit the gas pedal on energy independence. Forget the green vision of smiling polar bears; we’re talking about securing a future where America produces its own oil, natural gas, and all those high-demand energy resources that keep the lights on—not just for everyone in D.C. but for average working Americans.
The claim that oil and natural gas production somehow thrived under the Biden administration is a smoke-and-mirrors trick, like juggling chainsaws at a children’s party. This argument, favored by Democrat-friendly pundits, tries to sell the narrative that increased production somehow negates the steady slowdown that occurred during Biden’s term. But as the sluggish production begins to drag in tandem with the economy—thanks to bureaucratic bottlenecks and a refusal to invest in core infrastructure—it’s clear that the energy needs of Americans aren’t going to be sated by headlines alone.

Trump’s executive orders aim to electrify energy production and cut the red tape tied around the neck of fossil fuels. By declaring a national energy emergency and axing initiatives that prioritize climate over commerce, Trump sends a resounding message that America won’t be bullied into dimming its own energies. He envisions a robust future where critical mineral production thrives, ensuring that not just liberals’ dreams of renewable energy come true, but all of America benefits from an energy-fed economy.
Skeptics that downplay Trump’s reforms as modest misunderstand the undeniable impact of the Biden administration’s previous policies. If Biden’s Green New Deal-inspired regime truly didn’t cripple fossil fuels, then why all the ruckus from climate advocates over Trump’s ditching of the Paris Accords? It’s almost as if they recognize that energy independence equals more jobs, better prices at the pump, and a flourishing economy. The transition from paperwork to real-world drilling is on the horizon, and it promises a greater future for energy consumers—a scenario that should warm the hearts of real Americans.
