Donald Trump is set to bring the heat in Atlanta as he takes the stage against Joe Biden in the first 2024 presidential debate. The showdown promises to be a fiery clash, particularly over Biden’s questionable climate and energy policies that have straitjacketed the nation’s energy potential.
Gone are the days when political debates were mere sparring matches; this time, both Trump and Biden will have their full terms scrutinized on prime-time TV. And what better ammo than Biden’s eco-obsessed escapades to bolster Trump’s argument? Biden’s green dreams have left America’s energy sector whimpering, making the country a sitting duck for adversaries like Russia and China.

Expect Trump to ruthlessly dissect Biden’s catastrophic decisions, such as the outrageous move to drain 180 million barrels from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve following the Ukraine invasion. This knee-jerk reaction has left America’s emergency oil stockpile at its lowest level in 40 years—a blunder that all but gift-wrapped more leverage to foreign foes.
One doesn’t need a crystal ball to predict Trump taking a wrecking ball to Biden’s restrictive drilling policies. Remember when Biden blocked oil and gas drilling in Alaska’s North Slope and other parts of the country? Trump’s game plan makes it clear: flood the market with domestic fossil fuel, rev up energy exports, and kickstart U.S. energy dominance all over again.
Only the left could think the Inflation Reduction Act would be a win. $369 billion thrown at climate and clean energy boondoggles, which, surprise, surprise, actually ended up costing taxpayers around $428 billion! Perk up, Atlanta, because Trump’s going to hammer home how Biden’s misguided prioritization of renewable energy has handpicked “winners and losers.” Spoiler: the American taxpayer is not among the winners.
If that weren’t enough, the rigged EV tax credits and draconian tailpipe emission standards set by the Biden administration will be ripe for Trump’s criticism. Buckle up, because Trump’s “Plan to Save America’s Auto Industry” is about to take center stage. Trump promises to roll back these stringent measures, throwing a lifeline to American manufacturers and restoring sanity to fuel economy standards.
Count on Trump to frame Biden’s climate policies as nothing more than green radicalism that’s left America weaker, poorer, and more vulnerable. Get the popcorn ready. This debate is about to get interesting.
