47,000-Member Oil & Gas Workers Ass. Endorses President Trump Empty 47,000-Member Oil & Gas Workers Ass. Endorses President Trump

From The Daily Mail, (that the Conservative Treehouse didn't mind using as a source.)
The Oil and Gas Workers Association is endorsing Donald Trump, snubbing Ron DeSantis on the day of his energy policy announcement to support the former president.

~snip~

He cited Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, his decision to exit the Iran nuclear deal, and the former president's work to save American oil and gas jobs as the reason for the endorsement.

The announcement comes the same day DeSantis announced his energy policy, which includes plans to increase US oil and gas production with the goal of achieving $2 gas in 2025.
All fine an well, as far as I'm concerned, but I'd like to bet isn't as strong as Trump's plans. However, I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around this one. Help me out, if you will?
During [Trump's] remarks, he attacked DeSantis on ethanol, a huge industry in Iowa due to the state's corn crops.

'He wanted to end it, 'Trump said, referring to DeSantis' position in Congress. Now DeSantis says he'd support fuels with higher ethanol blends.
Having a change of heart is one thing. I've no idea if DeSantis is true to his word, or not. But, from my pov, I thought the ethanol industry was something that Liberals embraced, and any Conservative and/or mechanic worth his salt would kick to the curb in heartbeat, if he had any say about it. Same goes for the farmers.

What's with the change of heart? Or is this tale nothing but a bunch of bologna?

A little bit more:
Coday said it was Trump's record as president that led to his organization's endorsement and he slammed Biden's policies.

'Under President Trump's administration, America became a net exporter, became energy dominant,' he said. 'Our economy boomed and benefited every American. We don't have that today with Joe Biden in the White House. His intent and and obviously actions to kill our oil and gas jobs. They hurt our economy and threaten our national security.'
There is absolutely no denying the above.

There are some important policy facts regarding DeSantis in that article. It's not insanely long, but informative.
