The Great Energy Reversal: Trump Outpaces Biden’s Failures
President Trump continues to lead the most pro-American energy administration. His team keeps reversing Biden’s restrictions on oil and gas. This week, it was announced that the Department of the Interior (DOI) plans to conduct 21 oil and gas lease sales in 2025. In contrast, Biden’s administration had no lease sales in its first year.
“President Donald Trump has revived American energy. While the Biden administration left our energy resources to waste at the cost of taxpayers, Americans can feel relief knowing that they now have an administration laser focused on unleashing our domestic energy sources, lowering costs, and securing a more affordable and reliable energy future,” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told the DCNF. “The number of new oil and gas lease sales simply speak for themselves.”
So far, the DOI and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) have held 11 lease sales, which have generated over $110 million for Americans. But it doesn’t end there. The Daily Caller reports,
“BLM has reported 3,608 new oil and gas permits in Trump’s second term thus far, compared to 2,528 permits during the Biden administration, according to the DOI. Trump and the DOI have approved 43% more federal drilling permits than his predecessors had at the same point in their presidencies, according to the agency. The DOI has also opened more than 450,000 acres of federal land for potential energy development, and the DOI and BLM are set to approve more drilling permits than any other fiscal year in the past 15 years, the agency said.”
After four years of Biden appeasing the eco-left and shutting down our oil and gas industry, it’s great to see President Trump putting American energy first. We are already seeing positive results from this approach as gasoline prices continue to drop.
