From Oil to EVs: The Trump Effect on America’s Energy Future

How Trump’s Energy Policies Could Reshape America’s Path from Fossil Fuels to Clean Energy

Editorial Team (ET)July 9, 2025

With Donald Trump’s recent victory, the United States’ energy and environmental policies are set for a profound shift. This win empowers Trump to push his “America First” energy agenda, emphasizing fossil fuels, lowering consumer energy costs, and reducing regulations supporting renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs). Key sectors, including oil, gas, and offshore wind, could see substantial changes.

Trump’s Energy Vision: The “Drill Baby Drill” Approach

Trump’s campaign pledges revolved around a commitment to revitalizing American oil and gas production, rolling back regulatory barriers, and prioritizing energy independence. This philosophy translates into more aggressive policies for drilling on federal lands and a potentially rapid expansion in oil pipeline approvals. According to industry experts, Trump’s administration could open up significant areas of public land for fossil fuel extraction, marking a reversal from the environmental policies of the Biden era.

Impact on Electric Vehicles (EVs)

Under Trump, federal policies promoting EVs could be scaled back or repealed altogether. Trump has expressed a clear intent to dismantle Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards that have mandated stricter emissions and pushed automakers toward EV production. He has also targeted policies that qualify certain EVs for tax credits, potentially restricting their eligibility and rolling back incentives that have supported EV growth in recent years.

Oil and Gas: Renewed Focus on Domestic Production

Trump’s stance on oil and gas is expected to create new opportunities for domestic producers. Unlike Biden’s limited offshore lease sales, Trump could accelerate offshore drilling and simplify processes around fracking on federal lands. This would benefit companies involved in oil exploration, such as ConocoPhillips and other key players in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico.

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Exports

With Trump’s victory, the moratorium on new LNG export permits may end. Trump has promised to lift this pause immediately, potentially reopening opportunities for American LNG companies aiming to serve Asian markets. By enhancing LNG export capabilities, Trump’s policy shift could position the United States as a leading natural gas supplier on the global stage.

Offshore Wind Industry and Environmental Concerns

Trump has consistently voiced skepticism toward the offshore wind industry, particularly around its environmental impact on bird and marine life. His administration could impose a moratorium on new offshore wind permits, impacting planned projects along the U.S. East Coast. This halt could slow down the expansion of offshore wind in favor of traditional energy sources, significantly affecting investments in renewable energy infrastructure.

Redefining Clean Energy Tax Credits

Trump’s approach to clean energy tax credits may involve phasing down certain incentives introduced under Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). While a complete repeal of the IRA credits is unlikely, Trump’s allies could look at narrowing eligibility, particularly for projects with ties to China. This may lead to an increase in fossil fuel-based projects gaining favorable tax treatment, shifting support away from renewable energy.

High-Tech Loans and Green Energy Financing

Under Trump, the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office (LPO), which supports clean technology projects, could face significant cuts or be refocused to align with fossil fuel priorities. Historically criticized by Trump and other Republicans, the LPO could pivot from funding green tech to supporting natural gas, nuclear, and carbon capture initiatives, potentially impacting clean tech startups relying on government-backed financing.

Power Plant Regulations and Emissions Standards

Trump has committed to removing stringent EPA rules that limit emissions from power plants, especially coal-fired plants. He argues that demand from AI and manufacturing requires increased power capacity, and coal can help meet this need. Rolling back emissions regulations could result in extended lifespans for coal plants, particularly in states where coal remains a staple in the energy mix.

Conclusion

Trump’s presidency signals a major pivot for U.S. energy policy, with a clear shift toward fossil fuels and a pullback on clean energy incentives. From oil and gas to power plants, Trump’s policies could reshape the energy landscape, impacting everything from consumer costs to the nation’s energy independence. Whether it’s drilling on federal lands, slowing offshore wind, or revising clean energy tax credits, Trump’s vision for energy prioritizes traditional sources while limiting support for renewables and EVs.
