Wishing your family a happy Thanksgiving from ours at the American Energy Alliance.

“The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God.”

 

– Abraham Lincoln

And a special thank you too all those who aren't with their families today, but are making all our celebrations possible. Modern life would be impossible without the sacrifices of American energy producers.


Institute for Energy Research (11/21/23) blog: "The celebration of a good harvest by 53 Pilgrims and 90 Indians at Plymouth Plantation in 1621 is a story for the ages. Three days of feast was a respite from fear and poverty. Only about half of the original Pilgrims had survived since landing. Their air and water were pristine, the food organic and free-range, the energy renewable. But abject poverty and death were the norms. Today, Thanksgiving celebrates the compound benefits of progress. But it should also be a warning against the threat of, Venezuela-style, almost unimaginable retrogression. Capitalist institutions, prominently including incentives from private property, which the early settlers stumbled upon, would institutionalize good harvests for millions of Americans. But another factor literally fueled progress: dense mineral energies to better warm, cook, and light and to run the machines of the Industrial Revolution...The work of fossil fuels and electricity can never end. 'I am ashamed at the number of things around my house and shops that are done by … human beings,' Thomas Edison stated a century ago. 'Hereafter a motor must do all the chores.' Prometheus Unbound still has many chores to do, freeing time for other pursuits."
