Trump’s Energy Secretary Chris Wright slams Biden’s restrictive regulations on Alaska’s oil and gas, touting new pipelines and export terminals to boost American energy.

SIMI VALLEY, CALIFORNIA – At the Reagan National Economic Forum, Energy Secretary Chris Wright didn’t mince words, accusing the Biden administration of choking Alaska’s energy potential with regulations so tight they’d make North Korea blush. Speaking at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Wright argued that Alaska, a land brimming with natural resources, faced more restrictions on oil and gas production than Iran, Venezuela, and North Korea combined.

“This state, with its vast reserves, was practically handcuffed by the last administration,” Wright declared, his voice carrying the weight of frustration. He highlighted Alaska’s potential to fuel not just America but its allies in East Asia through a proposed pipeline from the North Slope to a southern export terminal. “Imagine natural gas sailing to Tokyo or Taiwan in just six days—geopolitical gold!”

Wright, joined by Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, celebrated President Trump’s executive orders aimed at unshackling coal and nuclear energy. He pointed to the Gulf of America, particularly Texas and Louisiana, as prime spots for massive export terminals to ship American energy worldwide. “We’ve gone from the world’s biggest oil importer to a net exporter,” Wright boasted, noting China’s current role as the top importer. “That’s our edge, and we should use it to strengthen alliances.”

The forum buzzed with optimism about reviving America’s energy dominance, with Alaska and the Gulf as key players. Wright’s vision? A robust energy network that powers the nation and its allies while outmaneuvering global competitors.
