Climate solutions experts say climate policies are most reducing planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions.

Trump has said he'll target policies that are making the most difference.

The Inflation Reduction Act , the nation's landmark climate law , is significant because it is expected to reduce U.S. emissions by about 40% by 2030 .

Incentives for electric vehicles are likely most at risk.

Trump is almost certain to reinstate oil drilling in Alaska ’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge , continuing a partisan battle that has persisted for decades .

Trump softened his rhetoric in recent months after Tesla CEO Elon Musk endorsed him and campaigned heavily for his election.

Trump has said he will also eliminate regulations by the Biden administration to increase the energy efficiency of lightbulbs, stoves and dishwashers.
