How Trump's Team is Reshaping Science and Energy

The Trump administration is making big changes to how science and energy are handled in the U. S. These changes could have lasting effects on the environment and public health.
First, let's talk about science. The administration has been cutting back on research and data collection. This includes reducing the role of scientists in decision-making. For example, they have limited the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to use scientific studies in making rules. This could make it harder to protect the environment and public health.
Next, there's energy policy. The administration has been pushing for more use of fossil fuels like coal and oil. They have rolled back many regulations that were put in place to reduce pollution. This could lead to more pollution and health problems.
The administration has also been skeptical of climate change. They have withdrawn the U. S. from the Paris Agreement, an international effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This could make it harder for the U. S. to meet its climate goals.
These changes have been controversial. Many scientists and environmentalists have criticized the administration's actions. They argue that the changes could harm the environment and public health. But supporters say the changes will help the economy and create jobs.
It's important to note that these changes are not permanent. Future administrations could reverse them. But for now, they are having a big impact on science and energy policy in the U. S.
