Doug Burgum, Trump&rsquo;s choice for interior secretary, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/01\/16\/doug-burgum-pledges-to-restore-responsible-land-management-to-interior-department\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a> the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on Thursday. &ldquo;Today, America produces energy cleaner, smarter, and safer than anywhere in the world.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>But &ldquo;when energy production is restricted in America, it doesn&rsquo;t reduce demand,&rdquo; Burgum added, &ldquo;It just shifts productions to countries like Russia and Iran, whose autocratic leaders not only don&rsquo;t care about the environment, but they use their revenues from energy sales to fund wars against us and our allies.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Now that Americans can look to a new horizon under Burgum, it&rsquo;s worth examining what Americans voted to put behind them.<\/p>\n<h2>Forfeiture Of American Energy Dominance<\/h2>\n<p>If Americans were worried a Biden presidency would be bad for American energy, the administration turned out worse. As the nation&rsquo;s public land chief, Haaland&rsquo;s top priority at the Interior Department seemed to be closing opportunities for U.S. energy development. Haaland signed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doi.gov\/news\/secretary-haaland-establishes-climate-task-force-strengthens-scientific-integrity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">twin decrees<\/a> within weeks of her Senate confirmation that revoked a dozen secretarial orders by Republican predecessors which were designed to unleash American power production.

These steps will align the Interior Department with the President&rsquo;s priorities and better position the team to be a part of the climate solution.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Haaland&rsquo;s early orders were a preview of what was to come under a secretary whose tenure would be defined by the kind of environmental zealotry popular among the left and antagonistic toward the taxpayer. The Biden administration promptly ordered an illegal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doi.gov\/pressreleases\/fact-sheet-president-biden-take-action-uphold-commitment-restore-balance-public-lands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">moratorium<\/a> on new oil and gas leases upon inauguration, only to be overturned by a federal judge in the summer of 2021. The Interior Department still didn&rsquo;t hold new lease sales for <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/biden-admin-says-its-approved-more-oil-drilling-permits-than-the-trump-admin-its-own-data-show-otherwise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">another year<\/a>, until 18 months into the administration, and even then, the government issued fewer oil permits than under President Trump while <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/04\/16\/biden-raises-cost-of-domestic-oil-production-with-new-order-on-federal-leases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">raising the price<\/a> to drill with a cascade of new taxes and regulations placed on producers. The Biden administration issued oil and gas leases on fewer acres than every president through his first two years since Harry Truman, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/federal-oil-leases-slow-to-a-trickle-under-biden-11662230816\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according <\/a>to The Wall Street Journal.

Had U.S. power production been allowed the take off with the trajectory put in motion under the Trump administration, Power the Future Founder Daniel Turner told The Federalist, the U.S. diplomatic posture to deal with overseas adversaries would have been revolutionary.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Iran would have probably gone bankrupt, there would have been a revolution, and a new government installed, and we would&rsquo;ve lifted sanctions,&rdquo; Turner said. &ldquo;Then Venezuela would have done the same thing. In both countries, Biden reversed punitive measures, allowing them to flourish.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2>Sabotage Of Trump&rsquo;s Energy Agenda <\/h2>\n<p>Biden&rsquo;s recent use of a 72-year-old law to unilaterally remove 625 million acres of American waters from availability for oil and gas exploration presents President Trump with another obstacle to unleash U.S. energy. The area covers the entire east and west coasts of the lower 48, in addition to the Gulf of Mexico and the Bering Sea.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/ZrfU6#selection-2635.163-2639.37\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According<\/a>&nbsp;to Bloomberg News, the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1953 &ldquo;included a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-locks-up-oil-with-new-lame-duck-restrictions\/\" title=\"Biden Locks Up Oil With New Lame-Duck Restrictions\">provision giving presidents wide discretion<\/a> to permanently protect waters from leasing, but it didn&rsquo;t explicitly grant them the authority to undo those designations.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Though presidents have modified decisions from their predecessors to exempt areas from oil leasing, courts have never validated a complete reversal &mdash; and until Trump, no president had even attempted one,&rdquo; Bloomberg reported. In 2019, a federal district court judge&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2019-03-30\/trump-s-arctic-oil-drilling-plan-is-shelved-by-federal-judge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rejected<\/a>&nbsp;Trump&rsquo;s attempt to undo protections implemented under the law by President Barack Obama. Those protections covered more than 125 million acres of the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. The case was appealed to the Ninth Circuit and was dismissed once Biden took office, leaving the question open whether Trump will be able to repeal the latest protections himself or will require legislative action. The Biden administration has already been responsible for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/bidens-5-year-offshore-oil-plan-will-have-historically-low-lease-sales-no-sales-2023-09-28\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">worst<\/a> five-year offshore leasing plan in history.

While the concept is not new, the Biden-Harris administration is the first to make it a strategic priority for the health of our ecosystems and the durability of Tribal sovereignty.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>And to protect &ldquo;Tribal sovereignty,&rdquo; Haaland celebrated the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doi.gov\/pressreleases\/secretary-haaland-applauds-400-co-stewardship-agreements-under-biden-harris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">400<\/a> co-stewardship agreements the administration signed to guarantee tribes greater access to lands and waterways &ldquo;pursuant to ratified treaties and other long-standing legal agreements with the United States.&rdquo; Haaland made sure to implement the vague metric of analysis called &ldquo;indigenous knowledge&rdquo; into her department&rsquo;s decision making.<\/p>\n<h2>Turning &lsquo;Indigenous Knowledge&rsquo; Into Scientific Analysis <\/h2>\n<p>In December 2023, the nation&rsquo;s preeminent public land agency published a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doi.gov\/pressreleases\/biden-harris-administration-takes-steps-increase-co-stewardship-opportunities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">press release<\/a> announcing new steps to &ldquo;incorporate indigenous knowledge into the Department&rsquo;s work.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Since time immemorial, the Earth&rsquo;s lands and waters have been central to the social, cultural, spiritual, mental, and physical wellbeing of Indigenous peoples. It is essential that we do everything we can to ensure that Indigenous Knowledge helps guide our ongoing work as stewards of public lands and waters,&rdquo; said Secretary Haaland. &ldquo;By acknowledging and empowering Tribes as partners in co-stewardship of our country&rsquo;s lands and waters, every American will benefit from strengthened management of our federal land and resources.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The decision to formally rely on &ldquo;indigenous knowledge&rdquo; became the subject of a <a href=\"https:\/\/protectpublicstrust.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Scientific-Integrity-Complaint-OSTP-DOI-Indigenous-Knowledge.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complaint<\/a> from an independent non-profit watchdog group submitted to the White House&rsquo;s Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). The complaint, filed by the group Protect the Public&rsquo;s Trust (PPT), argued the Interior Department&rsquo;s commitment to rely on &ldquo;indigenous knowledge&rdquo; violated the federal government&rsquo;s rules on scientific integrity.<\/p>\n<p>PPT cited at least one major decision from the Interior Department when the secretary cited &ldquo;indigenous knowledge.&rdquo; In September 2023, Haaland said her decision to cancel seven oil and gas leases in the Arctic was &ldquo;in recognition of the Indigenous Knowledge of the original stewards of this area.&rdquo; Haaland said she relied on &ldquo;indigenous knowledge&rdquo; to terminate leases despite the tribe closest to drilling sites within at least one location, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (Arctic Refuge), <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/06\/23\/how-the-left-is-exploiting-tribal-hypocrisy-on-oil-leases-in-the-arctic-national-wildlife-refuge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">petitioning<\/a> for years to develop the north slope.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[RELATED:[RELATED:<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/06\/23\/how-the-left-is-exploiting-tribal-hypocrisy-on-oil-leases-in-the-arctic-national-wildlife-refuge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How The Left Is Exploiting Tribal Hypocrisy On Oil Leases In The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Interior also identified a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Proposed Rule, which incorporated OSTP&rsquo;s Guidance on indigenous knowledge,&rdquo; read the complaint from PPT. &ldquo;If adopted, BLM&rsquo;s Proposed Rule would require &lsquo;BLM to rely on the best available information, including Indigenous Knowledge&rsquo; in future management of the area in Alaska where the leases are located.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;&lsquo;Dances With Wolves&rsquo; was a fine movie, but it makes a terrible foundational text of scientific philosophy,&rdquo; PPT Director Michael Chamberlain told The Federalist. &ldquo;The express direction from the Biden administration is that agencies do not need to validate or even evaluate indigenous knowledge before assigning it unspecified weight in federal decision making. The consequence of this is indigenous knowledge is just a &lsquo;black box&rsquo; into which any subjective belief could be introduced &mdash; provided it supports the government&rsquo;s preferred outcome.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This is one final insult to science from the administration that urged Americans to &lsquo;trust the science,&rsquo; and made a great show of promising scientific integrity,&rdquo; Chamberlain added. <\/p>\n<p>The Washington Free Beacon <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-harris-administration\/biden-orders-scientific-agency-to-expand-use-of-indigenous-knowledge-in-final-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> in December the White House issued a lame-duck order to the Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) requiring the agency expand use of &ldquo;indigenous knowledge.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2>Ethical Nightmare<\/h2>\n<p>Secretary Haaland became the focus of a congressional ethics <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/06\/07\/house-republicans-probe-interior-secretary-deb-haaland-for-conflicts-of-interest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">investigation<\/a> from the House Natural Resources Committee in the summer of 2023 related to a drilling moratorium in New Mexico&rsquo;s Chaco Cultural National Historical Park.
