President Trump’s vision to Unleash American Energy requires a functional government to execute it. Yet the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has made government less functional. With Elon Musk stepping down from DOGE, now is the time for DOGE 2.0 to live up to its name. Otherwise, the president’s energy objectives are in jeopardy. The administrative state was overdue...
Adversarial nations and strategic competitors currently dominate global supplies of rare earth elements—and control much of the world’s processing capacity for other critical minerals. These resources are essential for everything from fighter jets and submarines to semiconductors, satellites, and energy infrastructure. Without secure access to them, America’s economic future and national defense are at risk, particularly with rapidly...
America stands at a historic energy crossroads that is arguably as critical to our future global leadership as was the completion of the transcontinental railway or the interstate highway system. The decisions we make today about our energy future will determine whether we lead or follow in the global AI revolution and whether we maintain...
Texans have long championed free enterprise and competition. Over 25 years ago, our state was one of the first to deregulate most of our electricity market, unleashing billions in private investment and innovation. We know that when businesses compete, consumers win. Yet today, one critical part of our electric system remains shielded from competition by outdated...
Upon returning to the White House, President Trump immediately outlined a vision for a new “Golden Age of America,” unabashedly powered by American innovation and American energy dominance. If we hope to restore manufacturing, win the global AI race, jump-start the auto industry, and increase our housing supply, we need to increase our energy supply...
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...
