Trump touts ‘drill, baby, drill’ agenda – Derides Biden’s ‘green new scam’ during State of the Union address, and hailed the rise in US oil production
Excerpt: Trump didn’t say the words “climate change” during the State of the Union, but it loomed large over his 108-minute speech as he touted his “drill, baby, drill” agenda and derided Joe Biden’s “green new scam”. …
He touted his pro-fossil fuel agenda during the State of the Union. “American oil production is up by more than 600,000 barrels a day,” he said. “American natural gas production is at an all time high because I kept my promise to drill, baby, drill.” …
During his speech, he announced new “ratepayer protection pledges”, which he said are designed to protect Americans from rising electricity costs driven amid booming demand from AI buildout. “We’re telling the major tech companies that they have the obligation to provide for their own power needs,” he said. “No one’s prices will go up, and in many cases, prices of electricity will go down for communities.” The president reportedly negotiated these plans with tech giants for them to pay for increased electricity costs in locations where new data centers are being erected.

Marc Morano, publisher of Climate Depot – President Trump’s State of the Union comment:
“The climate legacy of this administration can be described as nothing less than Triumphant Trump. From performing over 200 actions to dismantle the climate agenda and promote American energy dominance since his second inaugural, Trump’s presidency has gone far beyond that of any previous administration, leaving a climate legacy of permanence.
The Trump administration, by focusing on the two key factors of pulling the United States out of the 1992 UN Rio Earth Summit Treaty and repealing the CO2 Endangerment Finding, has just made it much tougher for a future climate activist president to get us back into the climate mess.
Equally as important to crushing the climate agenda is that the Trump administration has completely reframed the narrative regarding climate change. Instead of speaking in reverential tones about ‘settled science’ or ‘consensus’, the Trump administration, led by Donald Trump himself, and EPA Chief Lee Zeldin, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright, have instead used the proper verbiage such as ‘scam’, ‘hoax’, ‘cult’, and ‘religion’ when referring to the alleged man-made climate ‘crisis.’”
