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.
