This is not possible to achieve, not now and not in Trumps term. We are incapable of building these projects currently under the legal framework of our country.
Example, look at the lack of critical minerals mines built in the last 4 years. The entire time the government in power has been talking about supporting them through the regulatory process and they still can't get any off the ground. These arent even as controversial as energy projects.

You also need companies to sign up and commit production and agree to the tolls. Regulatory hurdles are an easy scapegoat, when often projects just don't make economic sense.
