Trump 2.0 White House is Live
47 signed 200+ executive orders yesterday.
With President Donald J. Trump sworn-in again - now as the 47th President of the United States - his administration got to work. Today, the rebranded WhiteHouse.gov website went live. Here’s where you can follow all presidential declarations.
Fox News reported that over 200 executive actions, including a National Energy Emergency declaration, will be signed by President Trump today:
PUTTING AMERICA FIRST IN INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL AGREEMENTS (Paris Accords Withdrawal)
INITIAL RESCISSIONS OF HARMFUL EXECUTIVE ORDERS AND ACTIONS (revokes Biden’s January 2021 climate executive orders that imposed ESG posturing across government, 30-by-30 initiative, re-entry into Paris Climate Accords)
RESTORING NAMES THAT HONOR AMERICAN GREATNESS (renames the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America)
UNLEASHING AMERICAN ENERGY (restores offshore oil and gas leases, kills Biden’s American Climate Corps, bans EV mandates and household appliance bans, allows permitting reform, etc)
Temporary Withdrawal of All Areas on the Outer Continental Shelf from Offshore Wind Leasing and Review of the Federal Government’s Leasing and Permitting Practices for Wind Projects (offshore and onshore wind ban - yes!)
Putting People over Fish: Stopping Radical Environmentalism to Provide Water to Southern California (more water infrastructure projects)
DECLARING A NATIONAL ENERGY EMERGENCY (excludes solar and wind - boom)
We need a reliable, diversified, and affordable supply of energy to drive our Nation’s manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, and defense industries, and to sustain the basics of modern life and military preparedness. Caused by the harmful and shortsighted policies of the previous administration, our Nation’s inadequate energy supply and infrastructure causes and makes worse the high energy prices that devastate Americans, particularly those living on low- and fixed-incomes.
This active threat to the American people from high energy prices is exacerbated by our Nation’s diminished capacity to insulate itself from hostile foreign actors. Energy security is an increasingly crucial theater of global competition. In an effort to harm the American people, hostile state and non-state foreign actors have targeted our domestic energy infrastructure, weaponized our reliance on foreign energy, and abused their ability to cause dramatic swings within international commodity markets. An affordable and reliable domestic supply of energy is a fundamental requirement for the national and economic security of any nation.

Here’s my statement on behalf of IWF Center for Energy and Conservation on his energy and conservation actions:
That’s a lot of Day One executive actions. Whew. I’m eager to see EOs that fully stop the SEC’s natural asset companies NYSE rule and stop the EPA’s Clean Power Plan 2.0 rule that harms coal and natural gas plants.
Stay tuned!
Thank you, ma'am. A well-written summary. Your fellow blogger Doomberg has written that the economy is a derivative of energy, which I believe to be true. It would be interesting if you could develop a quarterly column/post (in my day, we called them columns) that details progress on the energy front.
Thank you again for your good work.
It was a big day and a great one for America!
