Create an energy and environment coordinator and abolish the climate policy office
What the document says“The President should issue an executive order establishing a Senior Advisor to coordinate the policy development and implementation of relevant energy and environment policy”
The chapter says the order should also abolish the existing Office of Domestic Climate Policy, and that the new Senior Advisor would report directly to the Chief of Staff and coordinate energy and environment policy across the National Security Council, National Economic Council, Domestic Policy Council, Council on Environmental Quality and Office of Science and Technology Policy.
What the document actually says“The President should issue an executive order establishing a Senior Advisor to coordinate the policy development and implementation of relevant energy and environment policy”
The president should sign an order. One adviser would lead on energy. That same adviser would lead on the environment.
Many White House offices work on energy. Others work on the environment. The book says one adviser should run it all. The same order would shut the climate office.

Executive Order 14154 does the second half of what the passage asks. Section 4(a) revokes Executive Order 14008 and abolishes any offices established in the orders it revokes, and the Office of Domestic Climate Policy was established by Executive Order 14008, so the office the passage names is abolished by executive order as asked. The fit breaks down on the first half: the order does not create a Senior Advisor to coordinate energy and environment policy across the Executive Office of the President, and it creates no position reporting directly to the Chief of Staff. Coordination was instead given to the National Energy Dominance Council, established by Executive Order 14213 and chaired by the Secretary of the Interior rather than by an advisor inside the White House.
The order does the second half of what the book asked. It pulls a 2021 order and shuts the climate office that order set up. But it names no senior aide to run energy and green policy at the White House. That work went to a new council led by the Interior chief, not by a White House aide.
