Project 2025 Proposes Many Changes to Energy Production & Regulation.
Project 2025 has a lot of proposals related to energy policy that would significantly impact the average American, as well as our planet. These changes (detailed below) will increase long term climate risks, increase pollution, eliminate our free access to weather reporting, impact our health, and raise our energy costs.

The Environment
Repeal the Inflation Reduction Act, which provides $370 billion in clean energy investments. The IRA has helped companies move toward clean energy by investing and hiring over 170,000 workers. Their programs have also helped average families save money with tax credits and benefits, and is responsible for capping the cost of Insulin at $35 per month for seniors on Medicare.
Remove restrictions on oil drilling, including in places like the Arctic, which are environmentally at-risk.
Not only roll back restrictions on the fossil fuel industry, but also prevent any U.S. state from adopting any stricter emission standard or environmental protection.
Dramatically increase the U.S.'s oil, gas, and coal production, which we already know contributes to climate change.

Federal Agencies
Fire everyone in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and then select individuals based on managerial skills rather than experience or qualifications. That means they would choose whomever they like for these key positions, without any checks or balances.
Completely abolish the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which has an impact on almost every sector in our economy. The NOAA's U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) is what provides crucial climate data to the energy sector, agricultural sector, NASA, and weather stations and apps like the National Weather Service. The NOAA's data also helped us in identifying and responding to weather-related health crises like Valley Fever in the Southwest, tornado warnings, and flood forecasts.
Abolish the EPA's Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights, which has had a notable positive impact on Americans, especially those in underserved and overburdened communities. The OEJECR has worked to incorporate environmental justice into the EPA, prioritizing equity and civil rights in environmental decision-making. Their impact has been lowering pollution in these communities, talking to real people and listening to what they need and want.

Clean Energy and Climate Policy
Completely eliminate the Department of Energy's clean energy loan programs. The LPO has invested in projects, created more than 37,000 jobs, lowered carbon dioxide emissions and our reliance on fossil fuels, and supported projects in Native American communities.
Remove the topic of climate change from the National Security Council agenda, which would have tons of domestic and international implications. This removal would lead to a total reversal on climate-related policies and programs we've had for decades, go against assessments from the Department of Defense, reduce America's preparedness, and signal to the world that the U.S. doesn't care about climate change.
Stop the current transition to renewable energy and block the expansion of the national grid. This would make us again rely heavily on fossil fuels, destroy jobs for workers in the renewable energy sector, increase pollution, and make us more dependent on other countries. Blocking the grid expansion would limit our ability to integrate new energy sources, innovate, and would make our entire system less reliable. Americans would have less energy access, higher energy costs, and fewer choices.
Remove all references to "climate change" from "absolutely everywhere" in government.
