Shortly after being sworn in, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum began implementing Trump’s energy emergency order, directing agencies to accelerate energy and mineral production on public lands and offshore.
Trump’s first-day energy emergency declaration unlocked broad executive powers to boost oil, gas, and mining—while blocking wind projects.
Secretary Burgum is also rolling back Biden-era restrictions, including reopening offshore drilling on the East & West Coasts and Alaska.
Burgum: “We are unlocking America’s full energy potential.”
