Reverses environmental protections set by Obama.

Executive Order 13783 was a pivotal directive issued by Donald Trump. It aimed to reverse several environmental protections implemented under Barack Obama's administration. The order sought to dismantle the Clean Power Plan, which was designed to reduce carbon emissions from power plants. It emphasized the rollback of regulations that were perceived to hinder economic growth and energy independence. The order directed federal agencies to review and rescind policies that restricted domestic energy production, particularly those related to coal, oil, and natural gas. One significant target was the moratorium on coal leasing on federal lands, which was lifted, signaling support for the coal industry.
