President Obama\u2019s eight-year effort to rein in the energy and mining industries with environmental regulations will likely come to a halt under President-elect Donald Trump, who is poised to green-light key job-creating projects from the Atlantic Coast to Alaska.<\/p>\n

With the election of Donald Trump — and a transition team that includes GOP energy lobbyist Mike McKenna and outspoken climate change skeptic Myron Ebell — both sides now see their fortunes reversing amid Trump\u2019s promise to rescind Obama\u2019s signature Clean Power Plan and jump-start oil, and natural gas projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think 80 percent of President Obama\u2019s policies will be reversed very soon after Trump moves into the White House,\u201d Robert McNally, the president of the Rapidan Group, the energy consulting firm, and former official in the George W. Bush administration, told FoxNews.com. \u201cThe Trump administration will reverse the global warming principles enacted under Obama and he will stop the politicization of infrastructure. This will definitely spur on the growth of the oil and gas industries.\u201d

    One of the biggest environmental flashpoints of Obama\u2019s presidency, the pipeline\u2019s final phase \u2013 which would create a shorter route for American and Canadian crude oil coming from Alberta to Nebraska \u2013 was rejected by Obama for not serving \u201cthe national interests of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Keystone XL faced stiff opposition from environmental groups and a minority of U.S. lawmakers amid concerns of oil spills in highly sensitive ecological terrain and worries from the Environmental Protection Agency about large increases in greenhouse gas emissions from Alberta\u2019s carbon intensive oil sands.<\/p>\n

    Throughout his campaign Trump vowed to \u201cimmediately approve the Keystone XL pipeline\u201d — adding he believed it would have no environmental impact and would create hundreds of jobs — and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is already pressing the president-elect to make it a priority in his first 100 days.<\/p>\n
