On July 29, 2025, the Department of the Interior's Secretary issued Secretarial Order 3437 directing agency staff to identify policies that prioritize wind and solar energy development in order to remove them. The order states, "[t]he previous administration’s destructive and ideological policies not only severely impacted our Nation’s supply of reliable energy infrastructure and dispatchable energy but also made our Nation increasingly reliant on foreign-controlled energy equipment."
Interior takes this action in response to President Trump's Executive Order 14154 (Unleashing American Energy) and other executive authorities.
