Unlike his predecessor, President Donald Trump seems to have always had energy, and it seems to have influenced the lives of all Americans at the very top of his mind. After his trunk-standing acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention last August, I was able to highlight more than 1,000 words inherent to the energy it contains.
The president’s energy and energy policy prioritization was refocused in a speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night. Every thing he said about energy received applause from Democrats in the House room, but that wasn’t surprising. Trump noted early in his speech that he could not literally say that he would evoke such a response from minority parties.
However, ordinary Americans struggling to achieve their goals after years of Biden/Harris-era inflation could have had a different response given their speech and focus on energy policy over the first six weeks of his second presidency.
“When I took office, I imposed an immediate freeze on all federal employment, all new federal regulations,” Trump said early. “We have finished our ridiculous green new scam. I have withdrawn from the unfair Paris climate agreement, which cost trillions of dollars that other countries have not paid. And importantly, we have ended our last administration’s insane electric vehicle mission, saving auto workers and businesses from economic destruction.”
Trump concluded part of his speech by pointing out a day’s executive order that 10 old regulations must be eliminated for all new regulations that all federal agencies want to implement. Again, this focused effort to demolish a entrenched bureaucratic state will boost the economy and generate thousands of well-paid jobs and low prices by reducing the costs of regulators that consumers inevitably pay.
The Congress is also doing that role. Already excluded Some of the most expensive Biden regulations under the Congressional Review Act.
All actions listed there will boost the economy and reduce energy costs for all Americans if permanently made. Yes, even for Democrats, some of them were heard in that part of their speech. wonderful.
If energy minerals are concerned, President Trump has reiterated his desire to establish or control the US presence in Greenland and its vast known reserves.
“There’s a message to the incredible people in Greenland tonight,” Trump said. “We strongly support your right to determine your own future. If you choose, we will welcome you into the United States.”
Trump said he pointed out that Greenland is not just about energy, but its management is important for national and international security. “In any case, we’re trying to get it,” he says, “We’ll keep you safe. We’ll make you rich. And we’ll come together and take Greenland to the heights, like you’ve never been thought of before.”
The president also spoke about his administration’s efforts to reestablish US control over the Panama Canal, saying, “The big American corporations (this)” It turns out to be Black Rock– LED Consortium announced that it has purchased both ports around the Panama Canal and many other ports associated with the Panama Canal and several other canals. The Panama Canal was built by the Americans for Americans, but not for others. But others can use it. ”
Preserving the free flow of shipping through the Panama Canal during periods of peace and potential war is important for US energy security given that crude oil is the most internationally traded product and LNG is rapidly rising on its list. Maintaining strong energy security is one of the most important aspects of ensuring strong national security and economic prosperity.
Seeing the incredible progress his administration made in securing the southern border without the help of Congress, Trump chuckled at the Biden-era claim that “the Democratic media and our friends must have laws to secure the border.”
“But it turns out that all we really need is a new president,” he concluded.
It has been revealed in the past six weeks that the same principles apply to energy policy. Since January 20th, the whole world has changed.
