Today, Congressman Brett Guthrie, Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, issued a statement regarding the establishment of the National Energy Dominance Council. The council will be led by Secretary Wright and Secretary Burgum.
Guthrie emphasized the importance of energy security as a component of national security. He stated, "Energy security is national security. By utilizing our domestic energy resources to create baseload power, we can lower prices, secure our grid, and provide the energy needed to grow manufacturing, heat our homes, and fill our gas tanks."
He expressed support for the formation of this council under Secretaries Wright and Burgum's leadership as it aims to secure America's energy future. Guthrie also noted that this move aligns with President Trump's commitment to reestablishing U.S. energy dominance: "President Trump is continuing to fulfill his promise to the American people to return our nation to energy dominance, and I look forward to working together to achieve that goal."
