President Trump is starting his own government-wide environmental sustainability and energy efficiency program through an executive order he signed late on Thursday.
The order directs federal agencies to manage their buildings, vehicles, and overall operations in order to "optimize energy and environmental performance, reduce waste, and cut costs," according to the White House.
It also calls on the White House Council of Environmental Quality 'to streamline pre-existing environmental orders' by "refocusing agencies on cost-effectively meeting mandates and goals" established by law, as opposed to executive fiat.
The White House pointed out that the federal government manages more than 350,000 buildings and 600,000 vehicles and is the largest consumer of energy in the nation.
The administration is also taking actions to facilitate and simplify agency compliance under the order.

It’s about time that we had a President who told the GOVERNMENT it needed to “tighten it’s belt”.

The problem is that the “cost” is always ignored by the eco nazis. So the general language of the order will accomplish nothing.
