Certainty No. 3: Energy LiberationOn President Trump’s first day in office, he signed three new energy executive orders that would “unleash America’s affordable and reliable energy and natural resources”:

• Executive Order 14154, “Unleashing American Energy”: This order boosts energy independence and economic growth. It prioritizes expanding energy production on federal lands and offshore, increasing domestic mining of critical minerals, and ending the electric vehicle (EV) mandate to promote consumer choice. It also demands a review of regulations that hinder energy development.
• Executive Order 14156, “Declaring a National Energy Emergency”: This order declares a national energy emergency and directs federal agencies to use emergency powers to increase energy development. This includes identifying and utilizing domestic energy resources, streamlining leases and permitting processes, and expanding energy infrastructure. The goal is to make the U.S. more energy independent.
• Executive Order 14153, “Unleashing Alaska’s Extraordinary Resource Potential”: This order is to expand resource development in Alaska. It focuses on boosting energy production, streamlining permits, and advancing infrastructure like pipelines and liquified natural gas (LNG) exports. It also restores oil and gas leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and directs agencies to remove regulations that hinder development.
