Trump Orders Zero-Based Regulatory Budgeting to Boost American Energy
President Donald Trump has issued an executive order implementing zero-based regulatory budgeting aimed at unleashing American energy potential. This directive, announced on April 9, 2025, seeks to streamline the regulatory process by requiring federal agencies to justify their regulatory budgets from scratch each year, rather than basing them on previous allocations.
Alongside this, Trump has ordered the repeal of what he deems 'unlawful regulations,' setting new expiration dates for existing energy rules. The White House asserts that these actions will reduce bureaucratic red tape, thereby fostering a more conducive environment for energy production and innovation.
The move has sparked a range of reactions. Proponents argue that it will lead to increased energy independence and economic growth, while critics fear it may undermine environmental protections and public safety. The order specifically targets regulations that the administration believes hinder the energy sector, with the goal of promoting a more robust and competitive energy market.
