gav and commies have tried everything they can to kill capitalism and crash this state
( probably so they can sell it to the ccp and pocket that cash )
plus we literally still have oil seeping up from the ground in places
calif resources alone could make the usa wealthy beyond all dreams.
When the Democrats can’t control something they ban it. When they can control it, they make billions off of it.
An NGO called Sea Change has been running in San Francisco... They are connected to Podesta, Putin and Soros, and have been assisting with eco protests against frakking, pipelines, and probably mining.
Can you post the 6 orders here?
His initial actions as secretary align DOI procedures and initiatives with the 200-plus executive actions that President Donald Trump has signed since his Jan. 20 inauguration, including more than 50 related to energy development.
Burgum’s Secretary’s Order 3417, “Addressing the National Energy Emergency,” enacts the president’s declaration of a national energy emergency through two actions.
“[The DOI] will immediately identify all emergency and legal authorities available to facilitate the identification, permitting, leasing, development, production, transportation, refining, distribution, exporting, and generation of domestic energy resources and critical minerals” the order reads.
The department—which manages 500 million acres of public lands and 1.7 billion offshore acres—will also “identify all emergency and other legal authorities available to expedite the completion of all authorized and appropriate infrastructure, energy, environmental, and natural resources projects,” it states.
Secretary’s Order 3418 aligns the DOI with the provisions outlined in Trump’s “Unleashing American Energy” order by “immediately terminating all actions taken” under revoked executive orders issued by then-President Joe Biden. The order “directs a review of all appropriations” from 2022’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and 2021’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law “to ensure consistency with President Trump’s energy dominance policies.”
Those two bills, along with the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, are the legislative framework of Biden’s “New Green Deal.” They collectively authorize more than 80 new federal regulatory programs and billions of dollars in allocations through 2032.
Burgum’s order also directs the DOI to review mining regulations, encourage energy development on federal lands/waters, and ensure that “a global rule, regulation, or action ... be reported separately from its domestic costs and benefits.”
Secretary’s Order 3419 mandates that the DOI “take immediate steps that will reduce living costs for American families” as laid out under the president’s “Delivering Emergency Price Relief for American Families and Defeating the Cost-of-Living Crisis” executive actions package through a “review of all programs and regulations that are unnecessarily causing higher living costs for hardworking American families to identify and recommend future actions to lower costs.”
Secretary’s Order 3420 “directs immediate compliance” with Trump’s executive order revoking the Biden administration’s “wrongful withdrawals of the Outer Continental Shelf from oil and gas leasing,” including two December 2024 Biden executive orders that placed restrictions on offshore drilling across 625 million acres off the East and West coasts.
“[The] ban has been unbanned,” Burgum’s order reads.
Secretary’s Order 3421 directs the DOI to support Trump’s deregulation agenda as outlined in his “Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation” executive order. Under Burgum’s order, the DOI “will eliminate at least 10 existing regulations for every new one introduced and ensure that the costs of new regulations are offset by removing the costs of previous ones.”
Secretary’s Order 3422 directs that the department “take all necessary steps” to implement the president’s “Unleashing Alaska’s Extraordinary Resource Potential” executive order that rescinds “all regulations, orders, guidance documents, policies, and any other similar agency actions ... promulgated, issued, or adopted between Jan. 20, 2021, and Jan. 20, 2025,” essentially erasing 70 Biden-era regulatory actions related to Alaska.
“Today marks the beginning of an exciting chapter,” Burgum said in a statement. “We are committed to working collaboratively to unlock America’s full potential in energy dominance and economic development to make life more affordable for every American family while showing the world the power of America’s natural resources and innovation.”
The problem with EO’s is that the next administration can just erase them, as Biden did to Trump’s and Trump just did to Biden’s. We need Congress to get off its ass and legislate while we still have a majority, or it’ll be deja vu all over again.
