"The president-elect reiterated his promise of expedited environmental reviews for investors."

"President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday doubled down on his pledge to expedite environmental reviews for some companies as he blasted a “quagmire” of U.S. regulations.

Speaking Tuesday at his Mar-a-Lago resort, the incoming president declared the “beginning of a great, beautiful, golden age of business” as he ticked off grievances about the environmental review process, electric heaters, water-conserving faucets and wind turbines. Trump also assailed a Biden administration move to ban drilling off most of the United States’ coastline and promised to “drill, baby, drill.”

Trump’s wide-ranging energy remarks come as he prepares to return to the White House later this month and pursue his campaign-trail promises to eliminate the Biden administration’s environmental policies, expand domestic fossil fuel production and broadly slash government regulations. "
