Bracewell’s Frank Maisano talked with National Review about the opportunity the new Trump administration has to quickly set policy for long-term energy growth, which would include opening up liquid natural gas exports.
“I know what his goal is, to have energy dominance,” said Maisano. “His goal is to provide a stable price. His goal is to meet consumers’ demand with affordable, reliable energy.” Green-lighting the paused LNG export facilities and shipments is the “most prominent example of how we can get things going fast,” he added.
Trump’s selection of fracking-firm CEO Chris Wright as his secretary of energy and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum for secretary of the interior was a strong start, said Maisano, who called the two nominees “substantive policy and energy market experts.”
