My theory is that he wants to use the sale of US fossil fuels to pay off the debt. Maybe that's bogus, just my uneducated opinion!

(I also think it's incredibly shortsighted)

Don't overthink it. I'd bet people in his admin and adjacent to it benefit from the existing fossil fuel regime and will do anything to stall progress on renewables

Trump is a monster who would throw his own children into a furnace if it made him richer.
