"Alan Krupnick, co-director of the Center for Energy and Climate Economics at Resources for the Future, a natural resources think tank in Washington, D.C., said Trump has been clear that he wants to expand U.S. production by opening up federal lands to more fossil fuels development, but that alone is unlikely to spur new development. 'These (policies) are unlikely to lead to greater production and exports with a low oil price,' he said. 'Trump has never talked about limiting exports of any commodities. It is imports he wants to limit, if anything.'"
