Administration Policy to Expand All Energy
The President ordered a policy to expand all forms of reliable and affordable energy production using U.S. resources such as crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, refined petroleum products, uranium, coal, biofuels, geothermal heat, hydropower, and critical minerals. The Administration says this policy is intended to drive down inflation, grow the economy, create jobs, reduce dependency on foreign imports, and help reduce deficits and debt.
Faster Approvals for Energy Infrastructure
Within 100 days the Council must recommend actions to rapidly and significantly increase electricity capacity and to rapidly facilitate approvals for energy infrastructure. The Council's examples include approving construction of natural gas pipelines to or in New England, California, and Alaska, facilitating reopening closed power plants, and bringing Small Modular Nuclear Reactors online.
Incentives to Attract Energy Investment
The Council will advise the President on incentives to attract and retain private sector energy-production investments. Those incentives are intended to encourage private investment across all sectors of the energy-producing economy.
Removing Practices That Raise Energy Costs
The Council must advise the President on identifying and ending practices that raise the cost of energy and on advising agencies about actions they can take under existing authorities to prioritize increasing energy production. The order also directs coordination to advise on ending regulatory constraints that drive up the cost of reliable energy to consumers.
