Donald Trump promised sweeping reforms to the energy industry during the campaign. He vowed to bring back coal jobs, boost domestic oil and gas production, back out of international climate change agreements and gut the Environmental Protection Agency.

Essentially, he vowed to undo most of what the Obama administration has done in the last eight years, and take the country in the opposite direction on energy and climate. Now, Trump is the president-elect. Wyoming Public Radio’s energy reporter Stephanie Joyce joined Caroline Ballard to discuss how or if Trump can keep his promises.
