The National Energy Dominance Council primarily cites national security interests: https://www.eenews.net/articles/white-house-launches-energy-dominance-council-to-promote-fossil-fuels/ https://www.eenews.net/articles/white-house-launches-energy-... It works towards increasing US energy production at all costs even though the US is already a net exporter. What is not mentioned of course is that increased US dependencies of countries like Japan are a feature: https://energytracker.asia/japan-to-buy-record-amounts-of-lng-from-us-after-trump-and-ishiba-meet/ https://energytracker.asia/japan-to-buy-record-amounts-of-ln... That model, extort US investments and let Japan build US infrastructure in return for LNG was from 2025. Now, with the Iran conflict, Qatar is shut off and Japan can be pressured even more.
