REDUCING AMERICAN RELIANCE ON UNPREDICTABLE ENERGY SOURCES: In a bold move today, President Donald J. Trump has enacted an Executive Order aimed at dismantling subsidies for what he terms ‘unreliable’ renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, as part of the broader One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
- The Order instructs the Secretary of the Treasury to phase out tax credits associated with clean electricity production and investments for wind and solar facilities, while also implementing stricter regulations on foreign entities as outlined in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
- Additionally, the Secretary of the Interior is tasked with revising existing regulations to ensure that wind and solar facilities do not receive preferential treatment compared to more reliable and controllable energy sources.
ENSURING AMERICAN ENERGY SECURITY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: President Trump is steadfast in his mission to bolster domestic energy production and shield American taxpayers from the costs associated with what he refers to as the expensive and unreliable tenets of the so-called Green New Scam.
- According to the President, unreliable energy sources like wind and solar threaten to replace affordable, reliable energy, jeopardize the stability of America’s electric grid, and detract from the natural beauty of the landscape.
- Moreover, he argues that reliance on these ‘green’ subsidies poses a national security risk by tying the U.S. to supply chains dominated by foreign adversaries.
- Eliminating the financial burden of taxpayer-funded subsidies for unreliable energy sources is deemed essential for achieving energy independence, reinforcing national security, fostering economic growth, and maintaining the country’s fiscal integrity.
EMPOWERING AMERICAN ENERGY INITIATIVES: President Trump advocates for a diversified energy portfolio that capitalizes on reliable sources such as nuclear, fossil fuels, and emerging technologies, all aimed at achieving American energy independence and stimulating economic development.
- On his first day in office, President Trump declared a National Energy Emergency, aimed at cutting through bureaucratic red tape, fostering innovation, and reestablishing the U.S. as the preeminent energy producer globally.
- Additionally, he created the National Energy Dominance Council to formulate a strategy that prioritizes energy leadership by reducing regulatory barriers, encouraging private sector investment, and promoting technological advancements.
- By unleashing American energy potential, the President asserts that jobs will be created, economic prosperity will flourish, the trade balance will improve, and the U.S. will enhance its competitive edge against adversarial nations, all while bolstering relationships with allies and contributing to global peace and security.
