WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, released the following statement on President Trump’s Executive Orders supporting the production of American energy:

“On his first day in office, President Trump is already delivering on his promise to increase baseload power, lower costs, and deliver real results for the American people,” said Chairman Guthrie. “Today’s executive orders will expand production of American energy sources by incentivizing new investments and unlocking the potential of our natural resources to drive innovation and lower consumer costs. This return to energy dominance is critical to safeguarding national security and creating a strong economy for the people we serve.
