President Trump’s “energy dominance” agenda will be undermined by steep cuts to federal agencies that are said to be planned by the Trump administration, scientists, lawmakers and energy executives warned on Monday. Pleas from numerous quarters have streamed into the inboxes of cabinet secretaries, asking them to salvage various divisions of government agencies. Federal officials face a deadline today to present their plans for another round of mass firings, and agencies that address energy and the environment are expected to be hard hit. … Opponents of the job cuts are making arguments more in line with the Trump administration’s priorities by saying the cuts threaten nuclear energy, mineral production and expanding energy access.
