Make America's Federal Lands Great Again.

DC Journal (11/24/25) reports: "The United States is creeping closer to opening its own lands for energy and mineral development aimed at decreasing the nation’s reliance on hostile countries. The U.S. House of Representatives recently approved two House-initiated measures and one sent over by the U.S. Senate to overturn actions taken under the Biden administration that closed federal lands to development. The measures reversed U.S. Bureau of Land Management decisions restricting development in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin, the Alaska Coastal Plain, and the National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska...'For years, the Biden administration weaponized the Bureau of Land Management to indefinitely lock away millions of acres of federal land in Alaska,' said Alex Stevens, communications and policy manager for the American Energy Alliance. 'Keep in mind, this is land that Congress expressly designated for multiple uses, including energy development.' Alaska’s oil production has fallen from a peak of more than 2 million barrels per day in 1988 to fewer than 500,000 barrels per day under the Biden administration, Stevens added."

"Rather than constraining economic growth to preserve pre-industrial temperatures, sound policy would accelerate the development that has made the world more livable. The next generation won’t inherit a dying planet, but rather unprecedented wealth, knowledge, and technological capability, along with the ability to apply human creativity to improve environmental outcomes."

Greens spend decades pushing expensive electricity, and act shocked when rates go up.

Energy Bad Boys (11/22/25) substack: "Rising electricity prices are a hot topic as of late. Many people are looking in all the wrong places to pinpoint the blame, specifically Democrats and wind and solar advocates looking to place it at the feet of Donald Trump and Republicans for accelerating the phaseout of wind and solar subsidies in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Others are pointing fingers at demand growth for data centers and AI. The truth is that today’s electricity price increases have been years in the making, fueled by massive spending for the so-called 'energy transition'—and the spending is still ongoing with no signs of slowing down...Most utility companies asking for large rate increases are looking to invest heavily in wind, solar, and battery storage. For example, one of the largest capital investments being made by APS is the Agave Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) that will cost $264.3 million...Electricity prices are increasing and have been for years because of state energy policies that prioritize emissions reductions and building wind and solar over energy affordability and reliability. Americans are now literally paying the price of these misaligned priorities."

The decades long war on affordable energy is having real consequences for American families.

Washington Post (11/24/25) reports: "Misty Pellew’s family lived in the dark for several days this month. Pellew’s power was shut off Nov. 13 because of $602 in unpaid bills, the latest in a string of financial humiliations that began six months ago after her husband lost his $20-an-hour excavation job in northeastern Pennsylvania. The recent government shutdown dealt another blow, delaying federal funding for programs that helped the family pay for food and utilities...Soaring electricity prices are triggering a wave of power shutoffs nationwide, leaving more Americans in the dark as unpaid bills pile up. Although there is no national count of electricity shutoffs, data from select utilities in 11 states show that disconnections have risen in at least eight of them since last year...Nearly 1 in 20 households, or about 14 million Americans, were so behind on utility debt that it was reported to collections agencies or in arrears as of June, according to an analysis by the Century Foundation and Protect Borrowers, a nonprofit that advocates for consumers. Meanwhile, the average overdue balance of $789 has risen 32 percent since 2022."

But the path forward is clear. To solve the cost of living crisis, unleash American energy.

Real Clear Energy (11/24/25) op-ed: "Thanksgiving 2025 brings something America hasn’t seen much of in recent years: lower prices. According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, the cost of a classic Thanksgiving dinner for ten people dropped about 5% this year, landing at $55.18. After years of grocery-store sticker shock, that’s welcome relief. And it stands in sharp contrast to 2022, when the same meal hit a record high of more than $64.05, the most expensive Thanksgiving in history. Food prices don’t rise or fall in a vacuum. Energy is baked into every step of the supply chain — the fertilizer, the transportation, the processing, and the packaging. When energy costs drop, families feel it. And when energy costs spike, families feel that even more. That’s why Thanksgiving affordability is a story about more than turkey prices — it’s a story about American energy dominance. Look at the gas pump. The national average gasoline price in November during the Biden years has hovered around $3.47 per gallon, compared to $2.68 during President Trump’s time in office. That difference is real money for families traveling for the holidays, and it shapes the cost of everything on the table. More affordable energy means more affordable food — it’s that simple."
