Energy Policy

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told Fox News Digital that California’s reliance on foreign oil poses a national security risk and cited declining in‑state refining capacity, while DOE’s Ben Dietderich presented new department data showing average residential electricity prices around $0.18/kWh in blue states versus $0.11 in red states. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, speaking Tuesday in Monroe County, Pa., linked higher costs to restrictive policies and noted a recent ANWR tour as the administration moves to expand U.S. resource development.
