Conservative leaders proclaim 2025 the death knell for climate hysteria, crediting President Trump’s bold energy unleashing with crushing Biden’s green nightmare and restoring American economic strength.

Story Highlights

Coalition of conservative groups releases report declaring 2025 a tipping point against climate activism, favoring energy realism.
Trump signs executive order on January 20 unleashing American energy by rolling back Biden restrictions.
July 4 legislation unwinds Inflation Reduction Act credits, prioritizing fossil fuels over costly green mandates.
Key figures like Jason Isaac and Steve Milloy hail net-zero goals as unachievable and economically destructive.

Report Marks Victory Over Climate Alarmism

A coalition including the American Energy Institute, Energy & Environment Legal Institute, Truth in Energy & Climate, CFACT, and Heartland Institute released “2025: Climate Hysteria’s Surprising Tipping Point” exclusively to Fox News in December 2025. The report identifies 10 challenges to climate activism, driven by Trump’s policies exposing net-zero pursuits as unaffordable and unrealistic. Jason Isaac, CEO of American Energy Institute, called it a great tipping point where net-zero proves unachievable. This shift prioritizes energy production and economic growth over what conservatives view as hysteria-fueled overreach.

Trump’s Rapid Policy Reversals

On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order unleashing American energy, repealing 26 Biden-era climate policies and declaring an energy emergency. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum chair new councils expediting fossil fuel projects while opposing wind and solar subsidies. By March, the Energy Department withdrew conservation standards, and EPA planned to repeal the endangerment finding on greenhouse gases. These actions resume LNG exports, reopen Arctic and Gulf leasing, and gut NEPA protections long abused to block development.

July 4 brought The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, unwinding Inflation Reduction Act clean energy credits that burdened taxpayers. EPA suspended methane rules in November and proposed repealing GHG reporting in September. Trump directed Paris Agreement withdrawal anew, shielding U.S. energy from globalist constraints. Steve Milloy, senior fellow and former Trump EPA transition figure, celebrated 35 years exposing climate alarm as a hoax now validated by policy wins.

Key Players Driving Energy Dominance

President Trump leads with his energy dominance agenda, reversing Biden’s net-zero mandates for vehicles and industries plus LNG export pauses. Agency heads Wright and Burgum, fracking and oil advocates, centralize control via White House councils. Conservative groups align closely, providing intellectual firepower through reports and litigation. This power dynamic overrides Biden legacies, pitting fossil fuel realism against environmentalist overreach that strangled the economy with regulations and subsidies.

Trump’s moves deliver historic deregulation, boosting production and affordability while ending environmental justice initiatives that diverted funds from real priorities. Coal plants reopen despite higher Midwest bills, prioritizing reliability over intermittent renewables. Litigation surges, but permanent EPA changes like endangerment repeal aim to block future green regs.

Economic Realism Triumphs Over Green Mandates

Short-term gains include surged fossil production and LNG exports, benefiting energy communities while renewables stall without incentives. Long-term, unwound IRA credits and fossil prioritization enhance affordability, countering Biden’s inflation-fueling spending. Political greenlash reflects voter rejection of globalist agendas harming families. Trump’s probe of doomsday policy pushers underscores accountability. Fossil dominance contrasts global solar pushes, securing U.S. energy independence and jobs.
