President Donald Trump signed 46 executive actions in the hours after his inauguration on Jan. 20, with many of them multipronged mixes of more than 200 executive orders, directives, and policy guidance designed to prompt a “whole-of-government” sea change in administration.
At least eight relate directly to energy policy, with four eliminating more than 200 rules, regulations, and executive orders issued under President Joe Biden’s administration. This includes any regulations or rules adopted within the past 60 days and any allocations authorized under two “New Green Deal” bills adopted in 2021 and 2022.
