New Energy PlansTrump has vowed to "unleash" U.S. energy production, focusing on increasing oil and gas output. Global Market Influence: Energy analysts point out that oil and gas prices are determined by global markets, over which U.S. presidents have limited control. Legal Battles: California is preparing for potential legal conflicts with the Trump administration over environmental policies. Overall, Trump's energy policies appear to be in direct opposition to Governor Newsom's progressive environmental agenda and California's efforts to combat climate change. While some Californians might benefit from potentially lower energy prices, the state is likely to face significant challenges in maintaining its environmental standards and clean energy goals under a Trump administration.
