The U.S. has suffered through four years of a war on fossil fuels by the Biden-Harris administration but "we've got a president in office who understands that we've got a great resource here," Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., said on Newsmax.
Trump on Monday signed executive orders declaring a national energy emergency and withdrawing the United States from the 2015 Paris climate deal, the international pact to fight global warming.
He also signed orders aimed at promoting oil and gas development in Alaska, reversing Biden's efforts to protect Arctic lands and U.S. coastal waters from drilling, revoking former President Joe Biden's target for electric vehicle adoption, suspending offshore wind lease sales, and lifting a freeze on LNG export permitting.
"Donald Trump has made it clear that he's going to make America energy dominant, and he's going to unleash American energy," Carter said on "National Report" Wednesday.
"And this is what we're so excited about. I mean, we've suffered through four years of a war on fossil fuels by the Biden-Harris administration. Now, finally, we've got a president in office who understands that we've got a great resource here.
"We've got an opportunity here to be energy dominant, and he's going to make us that," he added.
"So, I'm very excited about it. Look, there's going to be a market for EVs, and without the government having to tell people you got to buy electric vehicles, there's going to be a market for all of these things. And that's what Donald Trump understands. He understands we've got to have energy. … Already he's making America great again. And people are going to be investing. There's so much excitement up here. I'm so excited. Everyone up here is so excited."
