The U.S. oil and gas industry has urged President-elect Donald Trump to overturn many of President Joe Biden's climate change policies, arguing that they pose a threat to jobs, consumer choice, and energy security. The American Petroleum Institute (API) is calling for the removal of vehicle emissions standards promoting electric vehicles, the lifting of a pause on export permits for natural gas facilities, and the repeal of a fee on methane emissions from drilling operations, among other requests outlined in a policy document.
While the industry prioritizes job creation and energy security, it is important for policymakers to carefully consider the long-term environmental impact of such decisions. Balancing economic growth with sustainable energy practices remains a significant challenge for the incoming administration.

Climate change is urgent, and these delays just add to the cost for everyone, especially those already feeling the effects of environmental damage.

The policy makers should ensure that they do consider the long term environmental impacts that will come about if such decisions were to be made .
