Establishing the National Energy Dominance Council

On February 14, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the National Energy Dominance Council, aiming to enhance U.S. energy production across various sectors like oil, natural gas, and renewables. The Council, chaired by the Secretary of the Interior, will advise the President on strategies to boost energy output, streamline regulatory processes, and foster public-private partnerships. This move could significantly impact domestic energy policy, potentially reducing reliance on foreign imports and influencing national economic and environmental strategies, though it may also face legal and political scrutiny over regulatory changes and environmental implications.
