Drill, Build, Dominate: President Trump's Blueprint for Energy Greatness

President Trump is leading America's most important comeback yet-our return to energy dominance and global economic leadership.

While the Democrats and their cohorts in the media chases distractions, President Trump is making moves that matter. His establishment of the National Energy Dominance Council, created by Executive Order 14213 which will outline its comprehensive energy strategy this month, is nothing short of historic. This is classic President Trump: strategic, high-impact, and laser-focused on American prosperity. It's the biggest, boldest energy initiatives in generations and it's going to supercharge our economy like a rocket.

Let's be clear: under Biden, we got bureaucratic chokeholds, sky-high energy prices, and a shameful surrender of our energy independence. The American taxpayers were stuck paying more at the pump, more on their utility bills, and more for everyday goods-all while our economy got weaker and China got stronger.

Enter President Trump with a solution worthy of our great nation. The National Energy Dominance Council, chaired by Secretary Doug Burgum and Vice-Chaired by Secretary Chris Wright, is tasked with turbocharging U.S. energy production-across the board. That means oil, gas, coal, uranium, hydropower, and yes, cutting-edge technologies like Small Modular Nuclear Reactors.

This isn't about politics, it's about jobs, growth, and freedom. The council is mandated to cut red tape, fast-track permits, attract investment, and roll back the green bureaucracies that suffocated innovation. That means lower energy costs, more American jobs, and a massive boost to our industrial competitiveness. Early estimates suggest this initiative could create over 500,000 new jobs and lower household energy bills by up to 20%.

You want to bring manufacturing back? You want to power the AI revolution right here in the USA? Then you need cheap, dependable, American-made energy. That's exactly what President Trump is delivering.

One of the proposals will be, to the chagrin of the left, is opening more federal land for oil, gas, and mineral development. This is not just an energy strategy, it is a policy that will lead to economic powerhouse results. Under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, private companies pay upfront bonuses, annual rents, and production royalties to access these public resources. These payments generate billions in revenue, much of which is shared directly with the states where the development occurs.

This system ensures that the private sector bears the financial risk of exploration and development. If a company strikes oil or discovers valuable minerals, taxpayers benefit through substantial royalty payments. For instance, recent legislative proposals aim to allow for 30 lease sales in the Gulf of America over 15 years. This alone will produce an estimated $15 billion in revenue.

The revenue from this increased drilling will provide essential public services, including education, infrastructure, and conservation efforts. By leveraging our natural resources responsibly, we can stimulate job creation by reducing energy costs all while ensuring that American taxpayers receive a fair return on the development of public lands.

And let's not overlook national security. With this initiative, we finally break free from dependency on adversaries like China for critical minerals and energy tech. Trump's council is putting America first securing our supply chains and protecting our economic sovereignty. As President Trump said: "America will never again be at the mercy of foreign powers to keep the lights on."

This is Reagan-style leadership with 21st-century horsepower. President Trump isn't just talking about energy independence-he's making it happen. From greenlighting LNG terminals in Louisiana to reversing Biden's offshore drilling ban, Trump is firing on all cylinders.

Critics on the left will raise environmental objections, but the council's plan will embrace clean technologies that other energy producing countries around the world ignore. This will assure preserving the dependable American energy our families depend on. With next- gen nuclear, carbon capture, and geothermal, we're going cleaner without going broke.

That's smart policy. That's common sense. That's President Trump.

The National Energy Dominance Council is a testament to the Trump administration's unwavering commitment to American greatness. It is a rebuke to the naysayers who would consign our nation to energy dependence and economic stagnation. Industry leaders, from the American Exploration and Production Council to the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, have already voiced their enthusiastic support, recognizing the council's potential to secure affordable energy for generations.

Let us not allow this bold action to remain underappreciated. The National Energy Dominance Council is a beacon of hope, a catalyst for prosperity, and a cornerstone of President Trumps bold plan for a resurgent dominant America. This is not a partisan issue.

It is time for every patriot to rally behind this initiative, to celebrate its ambition, and to champion its success. With the council's leadership, America will not merely produce energy, it will dominate the global stage, powering a brighter, stronger, and more prosperous future for all.
