Trump Signs Executive Order to Shield American Energy from State Overreach

What’s in the EO? Beyond tasking the DOJ with a legal counteroffensive, it prioritizes federal authority over energy policy, ensuring that states can’t unilaterally derail projects vital to national security and economic growth. Think pipelines, drilling permits, and power plants—the backbone of a grid that’s been teetering under the weight of renewables-first fantasies. and the explosion of data centers. The order also signals a broader intent to protect American workers and consumers from what the administration deems “radical environmental agendas” that sacrifice jobs and affordability on the altar of green ideology.
