After years of misguided policies that marginalized one of America’s most dependable energy sources, lawmakers are finally stepping up to restore balance. And Rep. Harriet Hageman is leading the effort. This week, the House Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources considered legislation to remove unnecessary barriers to coal leasing in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin (PRB). For more than a decade, burdensome regulations and politically driven restrictions have choked off new leasing in the region, threatening future supply and undermining grid reliability. The consequences are real. The Wyoming Energy Authority has warned that without action, the U.S. could face energy shortfalls as early as 2030….

This week’s oil and gas lease sale in the National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska delivered a clear message: when America prioritizes energy production, the results follow. The Department of the Interior issued 187 leases and generated $163 million in bids. That level of investment signals renewed confidence in U.S. energy policy. But the real story is what this means for Alaska’s North Slope communities. Just The News reports, “Resource development provides over 95% of the North Slope’s tax revenue, which supports essential services in the remote region, including schools, health clinics, water and sewer systems, and wildlife management. The Biden administration would often…

At a time when Americans are already struggling with rising electricity bills, 120 House Democrats have introduced the so-called “Energy Bills Relief Act.” The name sounds nice, but in reality, this bill will deliver the opposite of relief.  The bill aims to expand renewable energy, making our energy grid unreliable and more expensive. Renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, are intermittent. They only generate electricity when conditions allow, making them incapable of providing the consistent, on-demand energy needed to keep the grid stable. The cost argument is just as misleading. While proponents claim renewables are “low-cost,” they omit the…

At an elite international film festival in Copenhagen, where attendees jet in from around the world to lecture others on carbon footprints, Hollywood is premiering Just Look Up, a documentary glorifying the militant climate group Climate Defiance. It’s oddly enough the exact kind of event they would storm the stage at, except this time they’re being honored. You can’t make this up. A movement built on disruption, confrontation, and headline-chasing stunts is now being packaged as heroic, inspirational, and morally righteous, complete with celebrity backing and a curated soundtrack. A bunch of worthless kids grasping for meaning in life finally get something…

The Trump administration just delivered another big win for American energy leadership. This week, over $56 billion in investments were announced at the Indo-Pacific Energy Security Ministerial and Business Forum. Led by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, the summit brought together leaders from 17 countries to announce historic investments in energy infrastructure, critical minerals, and advanced technologies. These investments expand U.S.-aligned energy infrastructure and supply chains across the Indo-Pacific, reducing reliance on adversarial nations and reinforcing America’s role as a global energy leader. Key highlights include: American energy dominance isn’t just fueling our economy; it’s strengthening…

A group of House Republicans is urging the Trump administration to make sure the United States controls the future of critical global energy assets. Led by Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11), the letter to Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent advises that selling assets of Russian energy giant Lukoil presents a rare strategic opportunity. Western sanctions have forced Lukoil to consider selling parts of its international portfolio, which accounts for roughly two percent of global oil production. In the letter, the lawmakers warn that these resources should never return to Russian control and should instead be purchased by American energy companies. This echoes the argument…

The hype around electric vehicles that has filled headlines for years is facing economic reality. The latest example is Honda, which is canceling the launch and development of certain EV models after demand in North America failed to meet expectations. The company now expects its first annual loss in decades, projecting a net loss of between $2.8 billion and $4.6 billion for the fiscal year ending March 31. Honda isn’t the only one. The Wall Street Journal reports, “Jeep maker Stellantis said in February it would book charges of about $26 billion. Ford took a $19.5 billion hit in December, while General…

For decades, America has experienced refinery closures while Washington politicians implemented policies that hurt our energy sector. But President Trump and his administration are working to bring back American Energy Dominance.  President Trump announced this week that the first new oil refinery built in the United States in fifty years will be constructed in Brownsville, Texas. The project, led by America First Refining, marks a historic investment in America’s energy future and a significant step toward restoring our energy sector. President Trump posted to Truth Social, “America is returning to REAL ENERGY DOMINANCE! Today I am proud to announce that America…
