Race Day Live President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders on Monday, including one that declared a national energy emergency.
The move aims to lower energy prices, increase U.S. energy production, and reduce reliance on foreign energy sources.
During his speech, Trump said, “We will bring prices down, fill our reserves, and export American energy worldwide. That liquid gold under our feet will make us a rich nation again.”
The Biden administration had previously borrowed billions to subsidize wind, solar, and electric vehicles while imposing strict regulations on coal, oil, and gas production.
Biden also pledged to eliminate fossil fuels, which many believe contributed to rising energy costs and an unreliable grid.
Trump criticized these policies, stating, “The high energy prices are an active threat to the American people.” His new order seeks to remove regulatory barriers and restore affordable, reliable energy production, particularly in states like Wyoming.
Energy producers in Wyoming, which heavily rely on coal, oil, and gas, welcomed the news. They’ve faced significant challenges due to regulations under the previous administration.
Trump’s order noted that excessive regulations had limited energy production, raised costs, and hindered job growth.
The order also withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accords, a move applauded by many energy producers. At the same time, a bill in Wyoming proposes to declassify carbon dioxide (CO2) as a pollutant.

CO2 Debate Sparks Discussion in Wyoming
Wyoming Senator Cheri Steinmetz introduced a bill titled “Make Carbon Dioxide Great Again.” It challenges the idea that CO2 is a pollutant, stating that it is vital for life on Earth.
If passed, the bill could impact carbon capture projects in Wyoming and redefine state policies on climate change.
In a Facebook post, Steinmetz explained, “This legislation isn’t about denying science but applying it. CO2 is essential for plant growth, improves agricultural productivity, and helps ecosystems flourish. NASA research shows rising CO2 levels have led to a global greening effect.”
The bill questions the push for “net zero” CO2 emissions, arguing that such goals are impractical and could harm a planet that depends on CO2 for life.
While the Trump administration will likely support the bill, it remains uncertain whether Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon will sign it.
Supporters believe the legislation reflects Wyoming’s independent spirit and practical approach to energy and environmental issues.
