Only hours after being sworn into office, President Donald Trump carried out a series of executive orders terminating much of former President Joe Biden’s climate agenda, which includes declaring an “energy emergency.”
The breadth of the decisions may well be the most dramatic shift in U.S. energy policy since the response to the ban on oil exports from Arab members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in 1973.
Biden had signed a number of executive orders after being sworn into office, such as adding the U.S. back into the Paris Agreement, a nonbinding international agreement to limit greenhouse gas emissions to keep temperatures from rising more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. From there, much of his climate agenda rolled out in a series of rulemaking actions over the past four years, including appliance efficiency standards, a pause on liquified natural gas export permits, and the EPA’s power plant rule.
Trump’s “energy emergency” includes support for the mining of critical minerals for national security, emergency approvals for energy resources on public lands and facilitating the building of energy infrastructure. In a separate executive order, Trump set forth rules for developing energy resources in Alaska.
Another order encourages exploration and production on offshore drilling, a revocation of one of Biden’s final anti-fossil fuel actions. The order also rescinds many of Biden’s climate-related executive orders. Trump also pulled the U.S. back out of the Paris Agreement. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
