Establishing the National Energy Dominance Council

               By the authority vested in me as President by the 
               Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
               America, it is hereby ordered:

               Section 1. Policy. America is blessed with an abundance 
               of natural resources and is a leader in energy 
               technologies and innovation that are critical to the 
               economic prosperity and national security of the 
               American people, as well as our partners and allies. We 
               must expand all forms of reliable and affordable energy 
               production to drive down inflation, grow our economy, 
               create good-paying jobs, reestablish American 
               leadership in manufacturing, lead the world in 
               artificial intelligence, and restore peace through 
               strength by wielding our commercial and diplomatic 
               levers to end wars across the world. By utilizing our 
               amazing national assets, including our crude oil, 
               natural gas, lease condensates, natural gas liquids, 
               refined petroleum products, uranium, coal, biofuels, 
               geothermal heat, the kinetic movement of flowing water, 
               and critical minerals, we will preserve and protect our 
               most beautiful places, reduce our dependency on foreign 
               imports, and grow our economy--thereby enabling the 
               reduction of our deficits and our debt.

               It shall be the policy of my Administration to make 
               America energy dominant.

               Sec. 2. Establishment. There is hereby established 
               within the Executive Office of the President the
