DRILL BABY DRILL: Trump Interior Secretary Doug Burgum Already Revoking Biden Climate Change Rules That Blocked Drilling for Energy


Former North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, who was confirmed as Trumpโ€™s Interior Secretary last week, is already clearing the way for Trumpโ€™s domestic energy production agenda.

Burgum is revoking rules Joe Biden put in place which prevented drilling on certain lands due to climate change.

Increasing energy production is going to touch nearly every part of Trumpโ€™s agenda. Itโ€™s going to help the economy, increase national security by decreasing our dependence on hostile nations, and make energy more affordable for millions of Americans.

This is excellent news.

The Washington Free Beacon reported:

Trump Admin Reopens Millions of Acres for Oil Drilling in Rollback of Biden Climate Agenda

The Trump administration is reopening oil and gas leasing across hundreds of millions of acres of federal lands and waters that were locked up by the Biden administration.

In a series of orders Monday evening, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum revoked Biden-era actions that blocked drilling across 625 million acres of federal waters nationwideโ€”an area that is equivalent in size to a third of the continental United Statesโ€”in the 19-million-acre Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska and in the stateโ€™s 23-million-acre National Petroleum Reserve.

The actions, while expected, signal an abrupt change in how the Interior Department will approach oil and gas leasing issues during the Trump administration. Under Biden-era interior secretary Deb Haalandโ€™s leadership, the agency pursued an aggressive climate strategy, severely restricting oil and gas drilling and mining while expanding green energy production on public lands and waters.

โ€œWe are committed to working collaboratively to unlock Americaโ€™s full potential in energy dominance and economic development to make life more affordable for every American family while showing the world the power of Americaโ€™s natural resources and innovation,โ€ Burgum said in a statement.

Burgum tweeted this earlier today:

The energy component of Trumpโ€™s second term is absolutely essential and Burgum clearly knows this. When production gets going, positive changes will be apparent very quickly. Burgum is already off and running and that is great news.
