President-elect Donald Trump will reportedly declare a national energy emergency to boost American energy production and lower energy prices.
Politico wrote that an incoming administration official said that the soon-to-be 47th president will sign a series of executive orders to speed up energy development.
“The rationale for this national energy emergency is that high costs of energy are unnecessary. They are by design. It is a cause of policy. We can address that,” the official told reporters ahead of Monday’s inauguration.

I love this guy!!!!!!
Bring on the WINNING!!!!
Personally, I would like to see the unfettered power to declare emergencies removed from all executives, at every level.
Gov’t mandated price controls NEVER work. Simply means less of the product will be available, in this case, energy.
I remember being ticked off when gas went from $.99 to $1. Many moons ago.
Gasoline isn’t very expensive right now in consideration of the relative increase of everything else. I found a receipt in my records of a gas purchase I made in 8/2007 in Arlington, TX for $2.79 a gallon.
What about the tariffs? This is what I’m waiting for.
What did I miss?
This won’t be a popular perspective, but geology doesn’t care about politics.
If there is no oil to be found in a locale, you can remove all the restraints you want and drill baby drill to your heart’s content, and it won’t make a difference.
We’ve been taking oil out of our ground for over 100 years. Just how long did you think that could go on?
You literally are showing how ignorant you are on the subject. America has more untapped oil than any other nation on earth for literally hundreds of years, for just the known resources. There’s plenty of oil, It’s just being prevented from being used. Get yourself educated.
W..I..N..N..I..N..G
At least another 75 years at current usage rate. Here in Texas there are new discoveries(proven wells) almost every week.
Oil is constantly being formed inside the earth. We may have pumped most of the easily accessible oil, but I have trouble believing that we are running out any time soon. They started pumping oil in the Bakersfield area and if you drive through the oil patch the pumps are still pumping. It’s been a hundred years. We must be really bad at pumping oil if we can’t deplete a single oil patch.
Misleading headline? Who knows?
He one of these internet buffoons that race around wiring long winded articles to pretend he is ‘smart” when he actually devoid of any contract with reality
There is dumb.
Then there is Owen Dumb.🤡
I’m for all of the above on energy production. Oil, gas, coal, solar, wind, nuclear, hydro with no fear or favor. Each form has its market, even if it’s just a rooftop solar panel powering a water heater or natural gas fueling a city bus system. As part of that, there is NO WAY I’m going to give in to such pessimism about oil production.
Wow, Bill Nye the Science Guy just showed up. You are incorrect.
When I started in oil and gas industry in 1988, the price of natural gas was $2.25 per MMCF. Until this recent cold snap, gas was also selling for $2.25. No one drills vertical wells for gas anymore but if you did, an average well then that was $500,000 would be about $3,000,000 today.
