- Faster approval processes for energy infrastructure projects like pipelines
- Potential growth in mining operations, particularly for critical minerals
- Reversal of several climate-focused policies from the previous administration
- Likely opposition from environmental groups and potential legal challenges
- Possible economic benefits for energy-producing regions and related industries
