While Trump’s approach to energy policy correctly identifies LNG as a growth driver and an essential geopolitical lever, expanding LNG exports risks impacting domestic...
Today, most farmers advocate for strengthening NRCS (Natural Resource Conservation Service) voluntary conservation programs, recognizing the importance of environmental stewardship.The good news is that strengthening these programs doesn’t have to come from monetary investments alone.

“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...
After the Trump administration put a new 10% tariff on Chinese products earlier this month, Agilian Technology, an electronics manufacturer in China, pressed forward with its plan to avoid additional levies.
