Repeal National Energy Emergency 

In his first month in office, President Trump issued an executive order declaring a national energy emergency and ordering agencies to facilitate the identification, leasing, siting, production, transportation, and generation of domestic oil and gas resources to “power the next generation of technology.”1 Notably, renewable energy projects were excluded, exposing the executive order as a handout to fossil fuel companies. Federal policymakers can use their authority to repeal or limit the effects of this so-called energy emergency.
