"Trump 2.0 Would Bring Whiplash To Interior Department"

"Expect a Trump administration to expand fossil fuel development and torpedo Biden priorities. "

"Former President Donald Trump has promised on the campaign trail to take a sledgehammer to the Biden administration’s energy and environmental policies.

That means the Interior Department — a vast agency that oversees public lands, the national parks, Western water conservation and endangered species protections — is sure to witness drastic policy shifts if Trump reclaims the White House in January.

Trump and his running mate, Ohio Republican Sen. JD Vance, have made “drill baby, drill” one of their key campaign talking points as they repeatedly vow to boost domestic fossil fuel production."
