These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Liberal emphasizes climate and renewable benefits from repeal
Likely strongly supportive: repealing these orders would remove recent pro-fossil-fuel and anti-international-environmental-agreement actions.
It would be seen as restoring support for renewable development and climate commitments.
Some uncertainty remains about immediate legal or contractual consequences.
Cautiously favorable but pragmatic: supports undoing orders seen as rolling back climate cooperation, while worried about energy reliability, legal disruption, and economic impacts in certain regions.
Would seek impact assessments and worker protections before repeal.
Likely strongly opposed: sees repeal as undermining policies that promote domestic energy production, streamline permitting, protect national interests in environmental agreements, and pause offshore leasing for review.
Views repeal as politicized rollback of an incoming administration's priorities.
