President Donald Trump vowed to bring down domestic prices and position America as an energy exporter by unleashing the “liquid gold” flowing beneath U.S. soil, stripping away what he deemed to be excessive regulations and adopting a slew of policies favorable to oil and gas drilling.
“Once again, we will work to make America an energy producer. We’ll bring prices down, fill strategic reserves up to the top, and export American energy all over the world,” he said during his inauguration speech on Monday.
Chris Wright, a Denver businessman and Trump’s pick for Energy secretary, will play a key role in carrying out the vision.
