US president using ‘invented’ national energy crisis to justify expansion of coal, oil and gas, experts say
Ever since Donald Trump began his second presidency, he has used an “invented” national energy emergency to help justify expanding oil, gas and coal while slashing green energy – despite years of scientific evidence that burning fossil fuels has contributed significantly to climate change, say scholars and watchdogs.
It’s an agenda that in only its first six months, has put back environmental progress by decades, they say.
