Sen. Elizabeth Warren promised to sign an executive order on her first day as president – if elected – to end drilling offshore and on public lands, a move that would reverse Pres. Trump's most notable energy policies.

Warren's call for a ban on fossil fuel leases received an outpouring of support from environmental groups, but states that rely on drilling for the majority of income blasted the plan for being out of touch with the needs of Western communities. “Senator Warren's so-called ‘plan' for federal lands shows how detached she is from the actual issues facing rural America and the West," Rep. Paul A. Gosar, Congressional Western Caucus chairman, said in a statement.
"I don't have anything against Sen. Warren personally, but the problem is there's a great divide with what goes on back east and what goes here in the west. It's a whole different world," said Pollock. "What she needs to do, honestly, is sit down and talk to people like me." A committee aide for the House of Representatives on Natural Resources pointed out that parts of her plan may be unrealistic, particularly her call to fully fund public land management agencies.
