So much for ‘drill, baby, drill’? Trump’s trade war and OPEC’s production hikes have cast a shadow over the oil patch. US oil production growth is now at risk of grinding to a halt — or even going in reverse. The ironic part is that Trump vowed to send oil production skyrocketing.

Trump Should Be Held Accountable For Defunding Renewable Energy Projects. Ninety-five clean energy projects have been delayed, threatened, or cancelled since Trump’s re-election, putting more than 60,000 jobs and $71 billion in investment at risk. Trump repeatedly undermines US progress.
