Unleashing American Energy

The EO establishes policy of fossil fuel exploration on federal lands and continental shelf, non-fuel minerals, eliminates "EV mandate", and general deregulation of energy and consumer appliances. It promotes energy exploration on federal lands, strengthens the U.S. position in mineral production, and encourages regulatory reforms to eliminate burdensome mandates and support consumer choice. The order revokes several prior climate-related EOs (13990, 13992, 14008, 14007, 14013, 14027, 14030, 14037, 14057, 14072, 14082, and 14096) and streamlines the permitting process to expedite energy project approvals. Additionally, it focuses on ensuring accurate environmental analyses and addressing national security implications related to mineral reliance.
