Trump says will declare 'national energy emergency' that could boost fossil fuels, power projects
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President-elect Donald Trump said on Monday he will declare a national energy emergency aimed at boosting U.S. oil and gas production and lowering costs for U.S. consumers. The emergency declaration is just one of many actions Trump is expected to take on Monday to bolster the U.S. oil, gas and power industries and put a brake on former President Joe Biden's efforts to accelerate the electric vehicle industry. Biden came into the White House vowing to wean the U.S. off fossil fuels, but U.S. oil and gas production hit record levels under his watch as drillers chased high prices in the wake of sanctions on Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.
