Drill, Baby, Drill Is Working
New data from the Interior Department confirms what Americans already feel at the pump: President Donald Trump’s energy agenda is delivering results.
Fox News reports,
“New Interior Department data shows a roughly 55 % increase in oil and gas drilling permits approved on public lands since President Donald Trump’s return to the White House last January, a rise that Interior Secretary Doug Burgum says is contributing to lower domestic energy costs and U.S. energy competitiveness abroad.
‘”President Trump promised to ‘drill, baby, drill,’ and his policy of increasing an abundant supply of energy, creating energy dominance for America, is bringing home the goals of dropping inflation and bringing prosperity to Americans and bringing peace abroad,”’ Burgum said Wednesday on “Mornings with Maria.”
The Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management approved 5,742 permits to drill on public lands over roughly a year-long period, according to recent agency data — a substantial rise compared with the same span under the previous administration.”
The Trump administration has rolled back green-energy mandates, cut wasteful subsidies, and reignited development. The message is clear: when America produces energy, America wins. Lower prices. More jobs. Stronger security. President Trump promised to drill — and, once again, he’s delivering.
