Trump will make energy great again
Donald Trump’s victory for president can be said, “Make Energy In America Great Again.”
Contrasts between Trump and Clinton energy policies are the greatest in American elections. The Republican Party platform contained this statement on energy—“Since energy is both an economic and national security issue, we support enactment of policies to increase domestic energy production, including public lands.” The Democrat Platform called for, “reducing greenhouse gas emissions more than 80 percent below 2005 levels by 2050. We believe America must be running entirely on clean energy by mid-century.” Clinton supported stopping constructing the Keystone XL pipeline; while Trump said he would restart construction.
The new Trump administration enables the nation to create millions of jobs producing coal, oil, and natural gas; add possibly a trillion dollars annually to our gross national product; and enhance our nation’s global prestige by using energy supply to threaten aggressive nations.

Time to push U.S. forward on climate change
America has decided. Donald Trump will be our next president. Now it is time for us all to come together and push America forward. We have been stalled in gridlock for too long. For those of you that have read my letters before, you know that action on climate change is of prime importance to me. Obviously, Donald Trump is not a believer in climate change. Despite that, I will pray for him daily and will prayerfully consider all his proposals and will try and support him when I can. Certainly I will try and give him every chance to succeed, for his success is America’s success. I urge all Americans to try and do the same. I will probably write him many letters about climate change, but they will be kindly written. It is time to heal wounds and make America even greater.
