WASHINGTON—U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright released the following statement after President Trump’s joint address to Congress:
“Tonight, President Trump outlined a bold vision for America. Under his leadership, the Department of Energy is cutting red tape, dismantling Biden’s job-killing regulations, and putting consumers back in control. Common-sense energy policies are replacing burdensome government overreach, ensuring affordability, reliability, and efficiency remain top priorities. We’ve ended the LNG export freeze, halted burdensome appliance mandates, and identified hundreds of millions of dollars in government waste—lowering costs, strengthening America’s energy future, and restoring accountability to Washington.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, America is ready to lead the world in energy, technology and innovation once again. A strong energy foundation, expanded energy infrastructure, more American ingenuity, and fewer barriers mean a stronger America. And we’re just getting started.”
