Congressman Brett Guthrie, who serves as the Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, has expressed his support for President Trump's recent executive orders aimed at bolstering American energy production. These orders were signed on Trump's first day in office.
Guthrie stated, "On his first day in office, President Trump is already delivering on his promise to increase baseload power, lower costs, and deliver real results for the American people." He emphasized that the executive orders are designed to expand the production of domestic energy sources by encouraging new investments and utilizing natural resources. This approach is intended to drive innovation and reduce consumer costs.
He further added that this strategy marks a return to energy dominance which he believes is essential for national security and economic strength. "As the Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce," Guthrie said, "I’m thrilled to get to work with President Trump and his administration to create jobs, unleash American energy, and develop new and innovative technologies."
