The Wall Street Journal is reporting that President-elect Trump is preparing pro-fossil fuel executive orders ahead of his inauguration next week. Some highlights:

Executive Orders on Energy: President-elect Trump plans a series of executive orders to promote fossil fuels and reverse policies supporting electric vehicles (EVs).
Drilling Policies: Trump is expected to instruct agencies to unwind President Biden’s restrictions on offshore and federal land drilling.
Emissions Rollback: Plans include reversing Biden-era tailpipe emissions rules and challenging California’s ban on gas-powered cars by 2035.
It is expected that Trump would create a National Energy Council to oversee oil, gas, and electric power policies, led by nominees Doug Burgum and Chris Wright.
