Trump's energy policies are under fire for their potential environmental impact. An analysis published by The Japan Times suggests that Trump's policies could double carbon emissions in the power sector by 2035. This projection contrasts sharply with the environmental goals set by former President Obama, whom Trump has frequently criticized. The National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) has been vocal in its criticism.

The NRDC's report, An Affordability Crisis of Trump’s Own Making, argues that Trump's energy policies could lead to significant economic and environmental costs. According to the NRDC, the U.S. could lose 540 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity under Trump's policies. Heatmap News also weighed in, noting that a 'glass half full' approach is insufficient to combat climate change. The debate over Trump's energy legacy has intensified.

MS NOW's article, Trump reckons with his least favorite president, places Trump's policies in direct contrast to Obama's climate initiatives. The article does not yet specify the details of this reckoning.
