The Energy Workforce & Technology Council (EWTC) issued the statements below in support of President Donald J. Trump’s declaration of a national energy emergency, signaling a decisive step toward strengthening America’s energy security.
President Trump’s announcement underscores the urgent need to unburden the energy industry from excessive and unnecessary regulations that have stifled growth and investment. By prioritizing reforms that streamline the permitting process and remove administrative bottlenecks, the administration will ensure that America’s abundant natural resources can be efficiently harnessed to meet growing domestic and global energy demands.
“The President’s declaration is a critical step forward in securing our nation’s energy future,” said EWTC President Tim Tarpley. “By rolling back burdensome regulations and prioritizing permitting reform, we can unlock the full potential of American energy production, create jobs, and provide affordable, reliable energy for consumers across the country.”
Energy Workforce continues to advocate for accelerated action on federal onshore and offshore lease sales, permanently passing permitting reform to expedite infrastructure for energy projects and undoing the ongoing LNG pause, which threatens to undermine America’s role as a leading global energy supplier.
“We welcome the President’s commitment to unleashing the power of American energy,” said EWTC President Molly Determan. “The industry stands ready to support these initiatives, ensuring that our workforce and innovative technologies continue driving economic growth while upholding the highest environmental and safety standards.”
Energy Workforce & Technology Council remains committed to working with the administration and policymakers to advance policies that enhance American energy production, create high-quality jobs, and secure the nation’s energy future.
