Trump Unleashes Alaskan Energy 

January 21, 2025

President Trump wasted no time getting to work after his inauguration. He signed a flurry of executive orders with a handful about our nation’s energy sector. One was Alaska-specific. The Unleashing Alaska’s Extraordinary Resource Potential was signed by President Trump just hours after he took office, and it shows his commitment to America’s energy sector and Alaska. The order will boost Alaska’s economy by reversing overreaching environmental protections that held back multiple energy projects.  

Anchorage Daily News reports,

“The order was one of dozens signed by Trump following his inauguration Monday. Another order signed earlier in the day reversed executive actions taken by former President Joe Biden during his presidency, removing restrictions on oil development in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea. Trump’s broad order, titled “Unleashing Alaska’s Extraordinary Resource Potential,” follows a request from Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy for swift action reforming the federal government offices and policies that oversee Alaska’s resource development industry. The policy changes were also championed by Alaska’s all-Republican congressional delegation.”

Alaska is a critical state that will lead to American energy dominance. The Last Frontier State is full of natural resources that will strengthen our nation. We applaud President Trump for using the resources we have at home to restore American energy dominance.
