Trump signs EO formally establishes new energy council, ENERGY DOMINANCE, undo Biden’s action
Trump signs an executive order establishing the National Energy Dominance Council, chaired by Secretary Burgum, to unleash American energy dominance
On 2/14/2025, President Trump signed an executive order that formally established an energy council that he previously said would aim to achieve “ENERGY DOMINANCE.” “We have more energy than any other country, and now we’re unleashing it,” Mr. Trump said in the Oval Office. The council’s chair will be Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, and its vice chair will be Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Other members will be drawn from the Cabinet and key government agencies.
Burgum described the council as a departure from former President Biden’s policies, which he said were in opposition to unleashing energy. “Now we need to turn that around 180 degrees and unleash that potential. We’ve got to unleash it from the Gulf of America all the way up to Alaska,” he said. The new council, to be headed by Burgum, will be granted sweeping authority over federal agencies involved in energy permitting, production, generation, distribution, regulation and transportation, with a mandate to cut bureaucratic red tape, enhance private sector investments and focus on innovation instead of “totally unnecessary regulation,” Trump said.
Trump has repeatedly called to undo Biden’s action. Biden, in blocking new offshore oil drilling two weeks before his term expired, said he was using authority under the federal Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to protect offshore areas along the East and West coasts, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and portions of Alaska’s Northern Bering Sea.
