Trumponomics – Part one: The regulatory crusade

Only Subscribers can read the full Article

Donald Trump became a household name by transforming himself from real estate tycoon to reality TV star. In his latest role as US president, he has promised to make the country energy independent and, in his own words, become the “greatest jobs producer that God ever created”. During his first three months in the White House, the New Yorker has taken steps to realise campaign promises to unlock the nation’s energy potential by easing regulations impeding E&P – including the Clean Power Plan – and making it easier for the waning industrial base to recover and resume growth. Responses to this first wave of unilateral measures have been – as with seemingly everything Trump touches – divided, ranging from elation to warnings of global destruction. In this article, Gas Matters outlines the measures Trump has taken so far (and their rapidly approaching limits) and speaks to players with the most to gain.
