Unleashing American Energy

Executive Order January 29, 2025 Document 2025-01956

Summary

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 14154, titled "Unleashing American Energy," aimed at reducing regulatory barriers to energy production and promoting energy independence. The order encourages energy exploration on federal lands, seeks to eliminate the electric vehicle mandate, and revokes several climate-related executive orders from the previous administration. Politically, this move may face significant opposition from environmental advocates and could lead to legal challenges, especially concerning the rollback of climate policies and the emphasis on fossil fuels over renewable energy sources.
