Upending Green Politics: Is Trump's 'Drill, Baby, Drill' Leading an Energy Renaissance?

Sometimes a change comes along with a more far-reaching impact than anyone foresaw.
Donald Trump's reelection for a historic, non-consecutive second term is already proving to be one of those. He has spent a lot of his time between the election and Monday's inauguration being, in many respects, the acting president. That's all to the good, as someone had to act like the president; Joe Biden's too mentally and physically impaired, and Kamala Harris, let's be candid, isn't smart enough.
A cornerstone of Donald Trump's 2024 campaign promises to also be a cornerstone of his second term: Energy. Lifting the slogan "Drill, Baby, Drill" from former Republican vice presidential nominee, Alaska's own Sarah Palin, probably got him a lot of votes from people who are tired of taking out second mortgages to pay their heating bills.
But as it happens, this isn't just a phenomenon in the United States. All over the globe, more and more political figures are telling the climate scolds to shut up and let people get on with producing the abundant and affordable energy that the modern world can't do without. A piece that ran Sunday at the Daily Sceptic by economist and CO2 Coalition Dr. Tilak K. Doshi makes the case for a global return to energy sanity that may already be underway.
In a speech and Q&A session on January 7th, the President-elect stated that both climate alarmism and Biden’s energy policies are “huge scams”; that he would terminate U.S. participation in the UN’s Paris Climate Agreement; that he would rescind Biden’s cynical permitting “pause” on LNG export infrastructure development allegedly to assess its impact on U.S. energy security and domestic natural gas prices; that he would do away with Biden’s EV mandates “very quickly”; that he would “un-ban” Biden’s blanket offshore oil and gas drilling ban; that he would rescind all the actions taken by the Biden regulators to disadvantage or ban gas appliances and stoves; and that he would unwind Biden’s offshore wind boondoggle. He has also vowed to rescind unspent funds earmarked for climate provisions contained in the euphemistically named, boondoggle-laden Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
We'll hear more about this starting Monday, January 20th, when Donald Trump resumes his seat at the Resolute Desk, and that's for sure and for certain.
