Trump Plans National Emergency to Boost Oil and Gas Projects
U.S. administration signals swift approval for new energy developments to enhance oil and gas production.
According to an official in the new U.S. administration, former President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order declaring a national emergency in the energy sector.
This move aims to increase oil and gas production in the United States while reducing costs for American consumers.
The declaration of emergency is one among several steps planned by Trump on Monday to strengthen the American oil, gas, and energy industries, countering former President Joe Biden's efforts to hasten the electric vehicle industry.
Despite Biden's campaign promise to reduce the United States' reliance on fossil fuels, U.S. oil and gas production reached record levels under his administration as drilling companies pursued high prices resulting from the sanctions on Russia over its war in Ukraine.
Although no specific details have been provided about the national emergency declaration, Trump and his allies have indicated that they will quickly greenlight new projects in the oil, gas, and electricity sectors, which typically require years to receive approval.
The common goal is described as unlocking a 'reliable and affordable American energy sector.'
An official highlighted that, as energy permeates through every part of the economy, it serves as a foundational element for restoring national security and enhancing the United States' global energy influence.
Additionally, Trump stated that the United States is in an artificial intelligence arms race with China and other nations, underscoring a national priority for the energy-greedy industry.
The official also noted that Trump is expected to sign another order aiming to utilize Alaska's natural resources and abolish many of Biden's initiatives on electric vehicles.
This order is intended to protect gas-powered appliances from federal and local regulators seeking their gradual phase-out in homes and businesses.
Trump plans to take decisive actions to unleash Alaska's resource potential, given the state's abundant resources, such as oil, gas, seafood, timber, and critical minerals.
Although no further details were disclosed, it was mentioned that previous regulations from the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture restricted production in Alaska.
