“As Big Polluters” new best friend, Trump’s “plan’ is pro-drilling, anti-EPA and is risky to our clean air and water”, spokesman David Willett said. The end result: lower taxes, fewer energy regulations and a rush of new funding for infrastructure projects.

Trump also promised to make policy decisions in a public way and very transparently, adding they won’t be “made on Hillary Clinton’s private email account”.
The GOP candidate’s comments on energy are opposite of what President Obama said earlier this year in his final State of the Union address.
Trump also turned his sites on Democratic presidential contender Hilary Clinton, claiming the former Secretary of State will cripple domestic energy production and job growth. Republicans and conservatives are increasingly sceptical of the science of climate change, while the Democrats and liberals are convinced of the phenomenon and that human interventions are causing it. His combative position on climate change will help Mr. Trump consolidate the Republican base that is doubtful of the nominee’s religious and social conservatism. Robert McNally, president of energy consulting firm Rapidan Group, has stated that if Trump wanted to raise the economic viability of coal, he “would have to find a way to raise natural gas prices”. Trump said, adding that the U.S.is “loaded” in oil and gas resources. OK, remember that. We’re going to save the coal industry.
We’re going to save the coal industry and other industries threatened by Hillary Clinton’s extremist agenda. “I never had the imagination to leave the real estate industry, until I recently decided to make America great again”, he said.
According to Trump, the United States deserves a part of the profits since “the country is making it possible”.
Trump didn’t mention by name a pillar of Obama’s effort to cut emissions, the Clean Power Plan.
Instead, Trump vowed a massive rollback of environmental regulations and worldwide agreements aimed at reducing global carbon emissions.
He is among many Republicans who reject mainstream climate science. That’s not true on energy. “If Clinton wins, oil workers will be unhappy”, said Derrick Alexander, an operations manager at oilfield services firm Integrated Productions Services.
“America’s incredible energy potential remains untapped”. He has also threatened to renegotiate a global climate pact reached in Paris a year ago. The state has been the center of the nation’s fracking boom for almost a decade. Yesterday, he was more direct. Trump said he supports all forms of energy and wants the U.S.to be energy independent.
The audience broke into applause. While Trump can’t cancel the agreement, he can make sure that he won’t comply. One of the most attractive, one of the most treasured birds and they’re killing them by the hundreds and nothing happens. “But it’s Paris that precisely does that”.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump holds a rally with supporters in Albuquerque, N.M., on May 24. “Imagine a world in which oil cartels will no longer use energy as a weapon”, he said. We’re going to win. Ted Cruz opposed them because he was reliant on oil industry donations. This includes renewable energies and the technologies of the future.
Trump’s speech was pretty fossil-fuel centric but he did acknowledge the existence of fossil fuel alternatives. One of the most lovely, one of the most treasured birds.
“Without subsidy, wind doesn’t work”, he said.
On green energy, “I know a lot about solar”.
“A Trump administration will focus on real environmental challenges, not the phony ones we’ve been looking at”, Trump said.

Prior to his speech, Trump took questions from the media during a press conference and was asked what he thought the federal government’s role should be on energy.
