White House Signs 1950s Era Energy Ordinance, Wartime Manufacturing

This decision turns US manufacturing and energy production as an emergency, national defense issue. These Wartime powers treat U.S. energy capacity (especially natural gas and LNG) and related industrial production as an important infrastructure during war, turning all forms of US energy as a defense necessity.

This increases wartime manufacturing, changing commerical manufacturing into defense hubs.
