I think he means drilling for oil and reversing the government's support for clean energy technologies.
It's a good piece and I think the analysis is largely accurate. But there's one thing I think Kagan missed: Trump isn't the only would-be dictator who could take power. He lists DeSantis and Haley as the closest competitors to Trump within the Republican Party, but he doesn't point out that even if, by some miracle, one of them becomes the party nominee, they would assume the very same dictatorial powers Trump is threatening to wield. Neither of them is going to defend democracy when offered the reins of tyranny, and both could easily hold power for decades. Trump maybe has a single decade at most.
The problem isn't simply Trump wanting to be President for Life. The problem is that the path has been cleared for any Republican to assume that role the next time one is elected. Project 2025 won't work for Trump only. The next time we have a Republican President, expect it to be the last time we have a fair election.
Most of them have seen what he has to force down their throats. Some of them are probably salivating at the thought.
I feel it's important to point out that gullible and mentally ill should not be conflated. He's an easy mark for Trump's rhetoric, a sheep eager to be fleeced. That doesn't mean he has a mental disorder.
He's never been willing to work for the American people. Only the elite who can pay for his services.

Has he recanted or otherwise apologized for those remarks? If not, they remain relevant today.
It's the part where he wants those same people to go out and intimidate or attack anyone not voting "correctly" (read: Republican).
His strategy has been consistent: treat all criminal investigations and prosecution against him as politically motivated harassment. Because that's how he uses the law. Then, after he found guilty, he claims political assassination to rile up his base and foment an uprising to free him.
The problem I have with this outcome are all the innocents who didn't vote for this or were too young to participate who will also be hurt along with them.
It was inevitable that it would happen sooner or later, but it's still sad news. Carter was one of the best, and he will be missed.
At least she's willing to point out the blatantly obvious, unlike a lot of people.
