America is blessed with abundant natural resources that allow us to produce reliable, affordable energy. Yet, under former President Biden, the administration kowtowed to the Green New Deal agenda, waging a disastrous war on American energy independence that wrecked families' budgets and emboldened adversaries like Russia and China.
President Trump has focused on achieving energy dominance, slashing burdensome regulations, unleashing domestic production, and lowering prices to strengthen American economic and national security. Senator Blackburn has been a fervent supporter of these decisive actions, which are delivering real relief to American families every day.
Under President Biden, policies like canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline, pausing LNG exports, restricting oil and gas leasing on federal lands, draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to four-decade lows, and imposing costly regulations drove gas prices to the highest average in over two decades. The Biden administration also tried to regulate everyday appliances, from gas stoves to vehicles, fueling inflation and making Americans more dependent on foreign energy.
In contrast, President Trump's America First agenda has reversed these failures. Through executive orders like unleashing American Energy, establishing the National Energy Dominance Council, and actions to revive coal, expand LNG exports, accelerate nuclear approvals, and fast-track permitting, the U.S. has achieved record oil and natural gas production.
