Trump Vows to Dismantle “Green New Deal” and Halve Energy Costs if Elected
At a recent rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made bold promises to overhaul the nation’s energy policies and boost economic competitiveness. Trump pledged to “terminate the Green New Scam,” his term for the Green New Deal, and commit to slashing energy costs by 50% within his first year in office.
“I will terminate the Green New Scam, and I will cut your energy prices in half within 12 months,” Trump declared, emphasizing a focus on policies he claims will revitalize the job market and bring manufacturing back to the U.S.
To achieve this, Trump proposed creating a business-friendly environment by reducing taxes, cutting regulatory burdens, and ensuring the lowest energy costs for American companies. According to Trump, these changes will enable U.S. companies to thrive and compete globally, providing what he described as “free access to the best and biggest market on the planet.”
Trump’s remarks included criticism of current policies, suggesting that America’s economy is in decline. “The problem is, if we have more of these idiots running our country, you won’t have a big and best market anymore,” he added. “But we’re going to turn that around.”
With a focus on energy independence and deregulation, Trump’s promises signal a departure from current environmental policies, advocating instead for an economy powered by affordable energy and reduced governmental oversight.
