AG Mayes led a coalition of 12 state attorneys general in drafting and sending a letter to the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources urging full consideration and support for S.J. Res. 10, which would terminate the national energy emergency declared by President Trump in Executive Order 14156. In the letter, the attorneys general argue, “There is no energy emergency. American energy production is at an all-time high and our electricity grid is resilient.” The attorneys general also state that “the evidence shows that we already have an abundant and reliable energy system, and are well-equipped to maintain, diversify, and expand this reliable energy supply in the future, even as energy needs increase.”
"Declaring a national energy emergency when America’s energy production is at an all-time high ignores the facts and jeopardizes our efforts to build a clean, reliable, and affordable energy future. I urge Congress to reject this baseless emergency declaration and instead focus on policies that promote a clean, affordable, and reliable energy future for all Americans.” – AG Mayes
