President-elect Donald Trump criticized President Biden's environmental executive orders, pledging to reverse them upon taking office. He specifically targeted Biden's ban on new oil and gas drilling and his new standards for gas water heaters, calling them 'worse' than the drilling ban. Trump also promised to end the electric car mandate and protect gas-powered appliances from federal and local regulations.
President-elect Donald Trump railed against environmental regulations enacted by President Biden on his way out of office, vowing on Tuesday to reverse those policies when he assumes office later this month. At a news conference at Mar-a-Lago, Trump derided Biden 's pledge to have a smooth transition as just "talk," pointing to a series of last-minute executive orders Biden announced before he leaves the White House.
These efforts have been targeted by GOP-led legal challenges and laws passed in red states that prohibit local governments from restricting gas in buildings, according to S&P Global. More than 75 million U.S. households use natural gas for at least one appliance, mostly for home or water heat, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration in 2020. Roughly two out of every five American homes have a gas stove, according to the survey.
