Far-Reaching Executive Actions on Energy Pour Out of White House

January 22, 2025--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--As a candidate and President-elect, Donald Trump promised a flurry of Day 1 actions that would turn the country in a new direction. He did not disappoint, issuing dozens of executive orders on his first day in office. The energy-related actions alone were extensive. In one order, he revoked 78 of former President Joe Biden's executive orders and actions he deemed "harmful," including several of Biden's Day 1 declarations as well as Biden's decision to withdraw certain areas of the Outer Continental Shelf from oil and gas leasing.
