Federal Register, Unleashing American Energy, Executive Order 14154, January 20, 2025

Broad EO putting forth several policy agendas to establish American energy dominance and speed up traditional energy (and rare earth and mineral) projects, dismantling regulations or entities which constrain gas and other related projects. Also abolishes funding and activities for American Climate Corps and revokes 12 EOs from Biden Administration pertaining to environment/climate, terminating Green New Deal. Emphasizes prioritizing cost-effectiveness in all procurements and expenditures of funds.

From the Order:

Section 1. Background. America is blessed with an abundance of energy and natural resources that have historically powered our Nation's economic prosperity. In recent years, burdensome and ideologically motivated regulations have impeded the development of these resources, limited the generation of reliable and affordable electricity, reduced job creation, and inflicted high energy costs upon our citizens. These high energy costs devastate American consumers by driving up the cost of transportation, heating, utilities, farming, and manufacturing, while weakening our national security.

It is thus in the national interest to unleash America's affordable and reliable energy and natural resources. This will restore American prosperity—including for those men and women who have been forgotten by our economy in recent years. It will also rebuild our Nation's economic and military security, which will deliver peace through strength.
