Unleashing American Energy

What it means

Orders agencies to unleash American energy production by removing regulations that limit fossil fuel development. Requires a review of all existing policies that could burden domestic energy resources and calls for expedited permitting approvals for energy projects.

Expected impact

• Increased production of oil, natural gas, coal, and other energy resources on federal lands
• Faster approval processes for energy infrastructure projects like pipelines
• Potential growth in mining operations, particularly for critical minerals
• Reversal of several climate-focused policies from the previous administration
• Likely opposition from environmental groups and potential legal challenges
• Possible economic benefits for energy-producing regions and related industries
