Trump readies energy policy reversal

摘要

US president-elect Donald Trump pledges to use his first 100 days in the White House to undo strict environmental regulations and energy policies that President Barack Obama's administration is scrambling to put in place. Trump will cancel “job-killing restrictions” on US shale producers and coal mining firms soon after taking office on 20 January, he says. The move would be the opening salvo of his attempt to unwind his predecessor's environmental rules and create what he calls an “America first” energy policy. He wants the US to become independent from energy imports by tapping into reserves on federal land, which he claims hold $50 trillion worth of oil and natural gas.
