HEAT Team Applauds President Trump's Bold Actions to Unleash Reliable American Baseload Power

WASHINGTON D.C. – The House Energy Action Team (HEAT) applauds President Trump's executive actions to revitalize American coal production and secure our energy future. HEAT Chairman Troy Balderson (OH-12), Vice-Chair Randy Weber (TX-14), and Article One Chair Harriet Hageman (WY-AL) released the following statement immediately following President Trump's signing ceremony at the White House:

“While Biden's war on coal pushed our power grid to the breaking point, President Trump is taking decisive action to prevent blackouts and secure America's energy future. Today's executive orders slash job-killing regulations, supercharge coal leasing on federal lands, and designate metallurgical coal as the critical national resource it truly is. By unleashing American coal production, we're not just keeping the lights on—we're fueling a manufacturing renaissance that will create thousands of jobs in energy communities devastated by the previous administration's reckless policies.”

Background: The RSC’s House Energy Action Team (HEAT) is comprised of 75 members who are committed to working alongside the Trump administration to advance critical energy initiatives and ensure American energy dominance for generations to come. The task force educates members on energy policy that empowers domestic energy producers, utilizes an all-of-the-above energy strategy, and puts America back on the path to energy dominance on the world stage.
