Description: As part of President Trump’s expansive executive orders, energy independency and efficiency would allegedly begin in Alaska. The Trump administration has requested for the local Alaskan government to issue all leasing permits on drilling oil and gas, logging and road – building. The report has been negatively received by environmental protection groups which have warned against the excessive exploitation of Alaska to avoid a natural disaster and inflict severe damage on the climate situation on the continent. The executive order has been well received by the Alaskan local government which aimed to increase economic development.
Impact: The executive order which aimed to enable the US to be energy independent and efficient by backtracking green energy solutions and reverting to fossil fuel exploitation could pose a serious civil and environmental threat in the future. US President Donald Trump hadn’t stated in what way he planned to boost US energy efficiency and reserves and, in that aspect, potential cooperation with other countries under US terms is possible. Trump’s administration would look to exploit US energy fossil fuel potential to the ultimate level which could cause severe climate and environmental damage but could lead to potential energy economic growth.
