President Obama could have led the American Energy Revolution to revitalize American industry and went down in history as a transformational President who changed the world

Instead because of his radical agenda will go down in history as President who destroyed much in the world.

Instead, Trump is going to have this handed to him on silver platter and be the one to go down in history.

All he has to do is remove the Obama obstruction and get out of the way ti let it happen

President Obama could have led the American Energy Revolution to revitalize American industry

Obama wasn't the first "king" to try to keep the tide from coming in. In this case it was the energy tide, and of course he failed miserably -- to the benefit of us all.

In fact, Trump--by getting rid of a lot of unneeded regulations, tax laws and the strong appeal to improve American national security and balance of trade, will start an energy revolution so huge that we could in a few years effectively make OPEC irrelevant because using modern extraction technology, we can get access to massive amounts of oil and natural just located here the USA.

I also think that Trump may seriously look at new form of nuclear power called the molten salt reactor. If we can scale up MSR's to commercial scale, not only can we use commonly-found thorium-232 as a nuclear fuel, but use a reactor design that is essentially meltdown-proof (since the reactor is using liquid fuel to start with!) and the reactor design can be used to turn now-useless spent uranium reactor fuel rods and even plutonium from dismantled nuclear bombs as fuel--eliminating a huge nuclear waste storage problem. And the waste from such a reactor is very small in amount and only has a radioactive half-life of around 300 years, which means really cheap waste disposal in any disused salt mine (if the nuclear medicine industry doesn't grab it first!).
