Reinstate the order on securing the bulk power system

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 12, p. 373. Written by Bernard L. McNamee.

Reinstate the order on securing the bulk power system

The document says “shouldWho acts: PresidentHow: executive orderp. 373 in the PDF
What the document says

“A good first step would be to reinstate an iteration of the Trump Administration’s Executive Order 13920”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 373

Executive Order 13920 restricted the use of bulk power system equipment supplied by foreign adversaries. The chapter says the cyber and energy security office is properly focused on threats to the grid from inverter-based resources like wind and solar but needs to cover the whole energy system, including the link between natural gas and electricity generation, and cybersecurity.

What the document actually says

“A good first step would be to reinstate an iteration of the Trump Administration’s Executive Order 13920”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 373
That sentence, in plain words

A good first step is bringing back one Trump order. Its number is 13920.

What this is about

One order limited foreign parts in the power grid. The worry was that they could be used to attack it. The book says that order should come back.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
