By the authority conferred upon me as President by the Constitution and the statutes of the United States of America, I hereby decree:
Section 1. Purpose.
For far too long, American taxpayers have been coerced into footing the bill for costly and often unreliable energy sources like wind and solar. The growth of these projects not only undermines affordable and dependable domestic energy options but also jeopardizes the integrity of our electric grid, all while tarnishing the breathtaking landscapes that define our nation. Furthermore, an overreliance on these so-called “green” subsidies poses a risk to our national security by tethering the U.S. to supply chains dominated by foreign adversaries. To safeguard energy independence, bolster national security, stimulate economic prosperity, and maintain fiscal integrity, it is imperative to terminate the substantial taxpayer subsidies supporting unreliable energy sources.
Sec. 2. Policy.
It is the policy of the United States to:
- (a) swiftly eradicate the market distortions and financial burdens placed on taxpayers by the so-called “green” energy subsidies;
- (b) enhance and solidify the repeal and modifications of wind, solar, and other “green” energy tax credits as outlined in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act;
- (c) eliminate taxpayer funding for expensive and unreliable “green” energy sources and supply chains dominated by foreign entities.
Sec. 3. Tax Credits and One Big Beautiful Bill Act Implementation by the Department of the Treasury.
(a) Within 45 days of the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the Secretary of the Treasury shall undertake all actions deemed necessary and appropriate to ensure the strict enforcement of the termination of clean electricity production and investment tax credits under sections 45Y and 48E of the Internal Revenue Code for wind and solar facilities. This includes issuing new and revised guidance as deemed necessary to prevent circumvention of policies concerning the “beginning of construction,” such as the artificial acceleration of eligibility and limiting the use of broad safe harbors unless a substantial portion of the facility has been constructed.
(b) In the same 45-day timeframe, the Secretary of the Treasury shall promptly implement the enhanced Foreign Entity of Concern restrictions outlined in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Sec. 4. One Big Beautiful Bill Act Implementation by the Department of the Interior.
(a) Within 45 days of the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the Secretary of the Interior shall review regulations, guidance, policies, and practices under the Department’s jurisdiction to identify any that favor wind and solar facilities over dispatchable energy sources. The Secretary shall then amend any identified regulations as appropriate and in accordance with applicable law to remove such preferential treatment.
Sec. 5. Reports.
Within 45 days of this order, the Secretaries of Treasury and the Interior are tasked with submitting a report to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, detailing their findings, actions taken, and planned implementations in response to this order.
Sec. 6. General Provisions.
(a) Nothing in this order is intended to impede or otherwise affect:
- (i) the authority granted by law to any executive department or agency, or its head; or
- (ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget regarding budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be executed in accordance with applicable law and contingent upon the availability of appropriations.
(c) This order is not designed to create any enforceable rights or benefits, whether substantive or procedural, against the United States, its departments, agencies, officers, employees, or any other individual.
(d) The expenses associated with the publication of this order will be the responsibility of the Department of the Treasury.
