“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...
A little over two years ago, representatives of President Joe Biden and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated a commitment to a “strategic clean energy partnership,” stressing that “climate and clean energy collaboration should promote energy access, affordability, energy justice, while supporting sustainable economic growth and just energy transitions.” And just last September, the Biden and Modi...
In the early 1980s, I was a bank manager in Kotzebue, Alaska, 33 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Those were the days of handwritten checks, paper records, and hand-updated documents. When broadband brought high-speed internet to Alaska, all that paper went digital, and residents never looked back—until last month, when an act of nature...
The call for “Sputnik moments” far outweighs their actual arrival. But the U.S. might find itself in a Sputnik moment in its race with Communist China over artificial intelligence. A ‘Sputnik moment’ calls for unified national action toward a goal. And with a new President with a strong penchant for industrial policy, it is a...
The electric grid has been described as the world’s largest machine. I’d like for you to take a moment to consider the generation and delivery of an electron to your home or business and how incredible today’s electric grid truly is. An electron is created by heat, inversion or friction at a power plant. That...
America faces an energy crisis. With skyrocketing energy demand and threats of increased blackouts, we’re left with question after question—but nuclear energy may just offer some answers. As promised, President Trump has already embarked on his mission to make the U.S. energy-dominant. To do this, he’s begun work on several key initiatives that will drastically improve...
Last week, the Senate voted to confirm former North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum as Secretary of the Interior. As Secretary and expected chair of the soon-to-be-established National Energy Council, Burgum has promised to follow President Trump’s directive to increase oil and gas production. But, if Burgum’s unique record is any indication, his approach might also involve carbon...
China dominates solar power supply chains, but the era of American energy dominance could change that. Recent domestic manufacturing investments in the solar industry have totaled more than $40 billion since 2022, further unleashing the industry’s potential here at home. Solar has firmly cemented itself as a key part of our all-of-the-above energy strategy and has steadily grown in...
I just celebrated my eighth anniversary running Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES). This milestone represents eight years of working to ensure Republicans have a seat at the table to discuss the benefits of unleashing American energy while lowering emissions. During this time, I witnessed three presidential elections—each with its own nuances—and saw their impact...
The 2024 election season made it clear that voters were unwilling to compromise on American energy affordability. Though Harris eventually capitulated on her previous anti-fracking positions, swing states’ embrace of the Trump-Vance ticket was a vote in favor of a strong all-of-the-above energy approach. Some now worry that the incoming Trump administration’s laser focus on...
