Washington: US President-elect Donald Trump announced to create a new National Energy Council under the leadership of North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum.
“I am thrilled to announce that Doug Burgum, the Governor of North Dakota, will be joining my Administration as both Secretary of the Interior and, as Chairman of the newly formed, and very important, National Energy Council,” Trump said in a statement on Friday.
The new council will consist of all Departments and Agencies involved in the permitting, production, generation, distribution, regulation, and transportation of all forms of American Energy, he added.
“This Council will oversee the path to U.S. ENERGY DOMINANCE by cutting red tape, enhancing private sector investments across all sectors of the Economy, and by focusing on INNOVATION over longstanding, but totally unnecessary, regulation. With U.S. Energy Dominance, we will drive down Inflation, win the A.I. arms race with China (and others), and expand American Diplomatic Power to end Wars all across the World,” Trump said.
He accused the “Radical Left” of forcing the US allies to buy energy resources from its adversaries and blamed them for starting a war on American energy.
”ENERGY DOMINANCE will allow us to sell Energy to our friends, including all European Nations, which will make the World a safer place,” he added.
Trump vowed to expand all forms of Energy production to grow the nation’s economy. He also pledged to support the electric grid by dramatically increasing baseload power.
