Trump Declares ‘Energy Emergency’ To Reverse Biden’s Assault On U.S. Power Production

President Donald Trump began the long road to reclaiming energy dominance with a series of executive orders designed to harness the nation’s natural resources after four years of environmental zealotry obstructed U.S. power production.

At least six out of dozens of executive actions delivered by the newly inaugurated president on Monday focused on energy or environmental issues, including an order titled “Unleashing American Energy” and a declaration of a “National Energy Emergency.” Trump previewed the emergency order in his afternoon inauguration speech from the Capitol Rotunda, where he characterized the record-level inflation Americans have suffered under the Biden years as a self-inflicted crisis.

“We will drill, baby, drill,” Trump said, remarking that the nation is host to “the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on Earth.”
