Nations once relegated to the margins of economic discourse are now sprinting toward prosperity, their trajectories propelled by a single, unifying force: energy. Energy is indispensable. From the huge AI data centers in the U.S. to the mega-scale manufacturing factories in China, affordable and dependable energy supplies make all the difference between living and thriving....
Texas is proud to be the energy capital of the world, producing nearly half of American crude oil and more wind and solar than any other state. Today, Texas is poised to dominate yet another new renewable energy source: hydrogen. This new energy frontier has the potential for billions of dollars in economic and environmental benefits for...
America stands at an energy crossroads. The United States is the world’s top oil producer, a natural gas juggernaut, and a nuclear pioneer—yet its potential remains shackled by bureaucratic inertia and ideological gridlock. To conservatives, the solution is clear: unshackle markets, slash red tape, and let innovation roar. But this isn’t just about ideology—it’s about...
The Biden Administration spent hundreds of billions of dollars to push renewables, and the result was a 30% increase in national utility prices. And yet, despite producing, (intermittent and expensive) electricity, no amount of wind and solar can make rubber or plastic or the millions of products we use, nor can they forge steel or...
During his keynote address at CERAWeek, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright spoke to the necessity of common-sense energy policy that prioritizes economic growth, energy security, and affordability for consumers. “Our focus will be steadfast on the American people and our allies abroad,” he said. “We need more energy. Lots more energy. That much should be...
As promised, President Donald Trump on Day One of his second term issued an executive order. Unleashing American Energy, that declared as U.S. policy an intention “to eliminate the ‘electric vehicle (EV) mandate’ and promote true consumer choice.” But shortly after the Trump EPA sent its waiver cancellation request to Congress for review, the Government Accountability...
The recent change in administration in Washington has sparked a renewed sense of optimism here in Louisiana. This transition presents an opportunity to realign priorities that have, in some cases, promoted false narratives of clean air and water above the fundamental needs of human communities. We’ve seen the consequences of such misguided policies in California,...
The United States is experiencing a pivotal moment in energy policy, with nearly unprecedented momentum being created at the federal level by President Donald Trump, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, among a host of others. The momentum from the top has been supercharged by the...
Geothermal energy presents a unique opportunity for renewed American leadership with a resource that is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year regardless of weather. This relatively untapped source of power uses energy stored in the earth to generate electricity or provide heat. It is inherently resilient and reliable, strengthens the grid, reduces...
“We made oil and gas great again through the shale revolution. We can make nuclear energy great again through nuclear recycling. A decade ago, America was on the brink of energy decline. We were dependent on foreign oil, vulnerable to geopolitical shocks, and burdened by high energy costs. Then came the shale revolution—an American innovation...
