Former U.S. Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette and former U.S. Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt have announced the formation of the Restoring Energy Dominance Coalition. This nationwide coalition aims to advocate for President Donald Trump's energy policies, focusing on boosting oil and gas production while scaling back climate change initiatives.
The coalition, comprising concerned citizens and policy experts, emphasizes the importance of American energy production in achieving domestic energy dominance. Brouillette highlighted the need for broad energy strategies to lower costs, create jobs, and enhance national security.
Trump's 'all-of-the-above' energy approach involves a diverse mix of energy sources, including fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and renewables, to promote energy independence. Bernhardt echoed the sentiment, stating that energy diversity is crucial for addressing current challenges and realizing America's potential.
In line with Trump's campaign promises, an executive order was issued on Inauguration Day, declaring a national energy emergency to bolster domestic production and reduce reliance on foreign sources. The order directs federal agencies to expedite various energy-related processes on federal lands.
The Trump administration's executive actions also include rolling back environmental regulations and prioritizing fossil fuel expansion and deregulation. This shift aims to increase oil, gas, and coal production on federal lands while revoking support for renewable energy initiatives and electric vehicles.
By advocating for energy dominance and emphasizing the importance of a diverse energy portfolio, the coalition seeks to support Trump's energy platform and drive economic growth while addressing energy challenges.
