Danielle Butcher Franz writes in The American Conservative about the benefits of an America-first energy agenda.
- Expanding domestic energy production is good economic and environmental policy.
- American oil and gas is far cleaner than energy produced overseas, while innovative American nuclear energy could play a larger role in global markets.
- An energy strategy that embraces America’s comparative advantage would reduce global emissions, bolster national security, and accelerate economic prosperity at home and abroad.
“As the far-left environmental community continues to fumble these issues, an America-First energy agenda could be a promising cornerstone in advancing economic prosperity, enhancing national security, and leaving a more beautiful nation for future generations. Conservatives, committed to stewardship, economic growth, and American leadership, can champion energy and environmental policy, stepping up to embrace these issues with the urgency they deserve. The long-term benefits for our country—and indeed, the world—are immense. The time to act is now, and the opportunity to lead has never been greater.”
