President Joe Biden released his final regulatory plan Monday, highlighting sharp differences in energy and climate policy with the incoming Trump administration.
While the Department of Energy, the Interior Department, EPA and other federal agencies are rushing to complete rules before Trump is sworn in on Jan. 20, many regulations will remain unfinished or disregarded by the next president.
Trump has pledged to eliminate many Biden-era restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions and development of the oil and gas industry, for example.
“Overregulation chokes economic growth,” entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy wrote Monday on the social media platform X. Ramaswamy and Tesla CEO Elon Musk head the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an external advisory panel Trump created to cut government waste.
