A letter from David Holt, President of Consumer Energy Alliance:
In just a few short months, the Trump administration has fundamentally transformed America’s energy landscape, marking a decisive shift toward what American families, farmers, and small businesses have desperately needed: pragmatic energy policies focused on affordability, reliability, and environmental responsibility.
The new administration has wasted no time. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, with his extensive industry experience as the former CEO of Liberty Energy and a strongly held belief that energy reduces poverty and spurs growth, brings real-world understanding to a role that demands practical knowledge of what it takes to produce and deliver energy. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is already working to remove unnecessary regulatory hurdles for responsible development on federal lands. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is refocusing the agency on its core mission, and attempting to reverse findings that he argues gave the EPA far more power than Congress intended it to have.
