Amanda Eversole writes in RealClearEnergy about five energy questions that should be asked in the presidential debate.
- Energy is critical to the economy and high prices are top of mind for voters.
- The Biden administration has netted some wins with geothermal permitting and nuclear power development, but has shuttered future LNG exports.
- Under the Trump administration the U.S. became an energy exporter and leader in oil and gas production.
- Whoever wins in November should prioritize permitting reform, investments in energy innovation, and an “all of the above” approach to reduce costs and lower emissions.
“The U.S. is the world leader in oil and natural gas production, and American liquefied natural gas (LNG) has been vital for Europe, especially after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
