If you mean the Trumps policy "Drill Baby Drill", then let me tell you this: Trump is pissing against the wind. Oil extraction will only get more expensive while solar power will only get cheaper.

No matter what he does, the economy will push towards cheaper energy source.

While I agree on the basic economics and even taco can’t hold back time…

he can and has slowed down EV adoption
he can and has slowed down buildout of renewables, costing thousands of jobs
his lack of enforcement certainly means some polluter will pollute more
if he succeeds in permanently neutering EPA, we’ll all suffer for a generation
he can and has blocked renewables, battery, EV manufacturing in the US
he can and has invented automakers to backtrack to yesterdays technology, leaving them with a precarious future unable to compete that will potentially cost hundreds of thousands of jobs and a regional economic base
