"Declaring a National Energy Emergency" was issued on January 20, 2025. It identifies an urgent need to enhance the United States' energy infrastructure and supply to ensure national and economic security. The order highlights inadequacies in the current energy and critical minerals sectors, which it claims have been exacerbated by previous policies. It emphasizes the importance of a reliable, diversified, and affordable energy supply for various industries and military preparedness. However, solar and wind power are notably excluded from the definition of “energy.” The order calls for swift action to expand and secure the nation's energy infrastructure, reduce reliance on foreign energy, and leverage domestic resources to create jobs, improve the trade balance, and strengthen international relations.
