Conservative energy leaders are celebrating President Donald Trump’s latest efforts to release U.S. drilling.

The Interior Department announced a proposal on Monday to lift President Joe Biden's oil and gas development restrictions on Alaska's national oil reserves.

Home Secretary Doug Burgum said the Biden-era Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rules limit energy development over half of the 23 million acres on the North Slope of Alaska, ignoring the 1976 Naval Oil Reserve Production Act.

"A century ago, Congress provided 13 million acres of responsible oil development to ensure U.S. energy and climate truth," Frank Lasee, president of Energy and Climate Truth, said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital. "The Congress provided 13 million acres of responsible oil development to ensure U.S. energy and climate truth, supported U.S. energy and climate truth," Frank Lasee, president of Energy and Climate Truth, said in a statement with Fox News Digital.

"President Biden's drilling ban in Alaska undermines energy security, increases reliance on foreign oil, increases gasoline prices and refuels inflation through higher transportation costs," Lasee added. "Resuming drilling puts economic growth and energy independence ahead of climate ideology, with few average Americans visiting."

In line with Trump's execution order, the proposed amendment restores regulations set out before May 7, 2024, which Lasee calls "a commendable" priority "U.S. energy demand and economic well-being, while complying with the law."

“President Biden should never stop congressionally recognized oil drilling in Alaska,” said Sterling Burnett, director of the Center for Climate and Environmental Policy at Arthur B. Robinson. “Trump will be praised for putting American energy needs or our economic well-being first and complying with the law by opening up backup production in these areas.”

According to the Interior Department, the 2024 rule lacks the “foundation of the Navy’s Protective Production Act” and undermines the BLM’s Congressional obligations to oversee the obligation to timely lease the region.

"President Trump's move to restore drilling in the Alaska Arctic is a bold and necessary step towards restoring U.S. energy independence," said Jason Isaac, CEO of the U.S. Energy Institute.

Trump vowed to release U.S. energy on the campaign in 2024 and signed an executive order on the first day of his second term to cancel Biden-era climate policy.

"By reversing Biden's disastrous restrictions on 13 million acres, Trump is unleashing rich resources that can drive our economy, reduce energy costs and strengthen national security. This is a victory for American workers, consumers and allies relying on stable, affordable energy."

Steve Milloy, a senior policy fellow at the School of Energy and Environmental Law, said the announcement “more good news from the Trump administration has recaptured more Biden’s war on fossil fuels.”

"Promise. Deliver the promise. But the Trump administration will need to further convince investors that Alaska's lease will actually be feasible. Radical climate activists will resort to the court and scare the cose.

Trump and his Republican allies are seeking to revoke some of Biden’s green energy plans through a budget settlement for Trump’s “big and beautiful bill.”

"The National Petroleum Reserve (NPR) was created more than 100 years ago specifically to provide a supply of oil for America's energy security. That energy security can be achieved by responsible developing our oil reserves, including in the Gulf of America, our vast shale oil deposits in America's heartland and, now, thankfully, the 13 million acres of the NPR that are going to be developed," said Gregory Whitestone, CO2 Coalition executive director.

Whitestone added: "The continuation of the Biden administration's drilling ban will result in a more reliance on rising prices of foreign oil supplies (and) gasoline and inflation spirals across sectors of the U.S. economy, increasing transportation costs."
