Day 3 at #CERAWeek 2025, and the conversation around U.S. energy leadership continues to gain momentum! Today, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum delivered a strong message during the keynote luncheon: 🔹 Past domestic bans did not reduce energy demand—they only shifted supply, weakened U.S. infrastructure, and hurt American consumers. 🔹 We must stop permitting challenges, cut red tape, and get energy moving again. 🔹 Energy security = national security. Securing supply chains is critical for defense and economic stability. 🔹 Permitting reform is essential—reducing costs, creating regulatory certainty, and ensuring timely project execution. 🔹 The National Energy Dominance Council will identify strategic projects that need to move forward quickly and pinpoint policies that slow progress. 🔹 If you care about the environment, you should support every drop and every electron being produced domestically—because we do it cleaner, safer, and smarter than anyone else. Capital is returning, and states embracing low-cost, reliable energy are thriving. The path forward is clear—let’s lead! #EnergyLeadership #PermittingReform #EnergySecurity #CERAWeek
