White House to Focus on Energy This Week

“Energy week” will be the theme this upcoming week for the White House, following on the heels of “tech week” during which President Trump met with Silicon Valley leaders to discuss transforming government technology.
“Energy week” is expected to kick of with an event at the White House on Wednesday that will include many cabinet secretaries. If the Administration remains true to the format of the previous theme weeks, more insight into the President’s intended energy policies can be expected.
Heritage Foundation’s economic expert Steve Moore advised President Trump regarding economic issues during his campaign and feels confident about the future of U.S. energy policy under this administration.
“Energy is huge and Donald Trump is fully on board with that,” said Moore. In addition, he applauded the President for pulling out of the Paris Agreement saying that it “was a shakedown of the United States taxpayer.”
According to Moore, certain policies could result in the United States becoming the energy capital of the world due to its wealth of oil, natural gas, and coal. He added that the U.S. could be selling oil instead of importing it.
It appears that the Administration echoes this view on energy based on the America First Energy Plan detailed on the White House website, which states that the Trump Administration is “committed to clean coal technology” and will “embrace the shale oil and gas revolution to bring jobs and prosperity to millions of Americans.”
