Limiting Oil and Gas ExpansionThe climate imperative to stop oil and gas expansion is clear. Deferring the necessary energy transition in the United States will only increase its cost while foregoing the immediate economic benefits of new clean energy investment and jobs. Similarly, during the first Trump administration, over 300 new petrochemical plants were proposed, predominantly in the Gulf South and Appalachia. Swift energy transition depends on scaling up affordable clean energy. Because strong laws and regulations give rise to effective litigation strategies, the Trump administration is trying to eliminate them.
