American Energy Security is Economic Security

Energy prices affect housing, food, transportation, manufacturing, technology, and national defense. Energy resilience is not optional — it is foundational.

Today’s energy conversation is not just about fuel choice. It is about infrastructure. It’s about climate change.  It’s about liberty and economic security.

Extraction technologies must always consider the environmental price and not trade today’s economic expediency for tomorrow’s survival. We must learn to think and plan longer-term.

We can responsibly expand domestic production of oil and natural gas, critical minerals and rare earth elements, agricultural inputs, and clean energy technologies.

America is rapidly expanding data centers to power artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and advanced research. These facilities require enormous, reliable energy capacity. 

We must build an energy system capable of powering both today’s economy and tomorrow’s technologies.

We must also modernize the grid — increase transmission capacity, strengthen storage, and improve resilience against cyber and physical threats.

Subsidies should solve structural bottlenecks — not permanently distort markets.

Strategic investment belongs in infrastructure gaps, not in manipulating consumer behavior.  Markets function best when they are competitive, stable, and transparent.

My Federal Focus

• Strengthen domestic energy production responsibly
• Invest in grid modernization, transmission expansion, and storage
• Ensure energy capacity keeps pace with data center and AI infrastructure growth
• Support domestic mineral extraction, refinement and processing
• Reduce foreign supply chain dependency
• Focus subsidies on infrastructure gaps rather than long-term market manipulation
• Consider climate change goals in all energy and extraction oversight and investment

Bottom Line:  Resilient Supply Chains. Reliable Energy. Future Focused.
