Trump 's Cabinet picks for Interior, Energy , and EPA are allies of the oil and gas industry.

They plan to expand drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and on federal lands and roll back climate rules for the industry.

Scientists warn that burning more fossil fuels will worsen the climate crisis.

Trump and his allies argue that the US should boost production to drive down prices and lower inflation.

The incoming Trump administration is also expected to shrink national monuments in the West to open up more public lands to drilling and mining.

Trump has promised to "kill" the EPA 's regulations that limit emissions from cars, trucks, power plants, and oil and gas wells, pumps, and storage tanks.
