Former President Donald Trump is promising to declare a national emergency on energy if he’s reelected in order to boost energy production and electricity generation.
Trump painted a dire picture of U.S. energy in a Thursday speech in the battleground state of Michigan, and said Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, would make it worse.
“My goal will be to cut your energy costs in half within 12 months after taking office,” Trump told the crowd at a metals distributing company.

“To achieve this rapid reduction in energy costs, I will declare a national emergency to allow us to dramatically increase energy production, generation and supply, which Comrade Kamala has destroyed. She’s destroyed it,” he continued.
