A clear majority of American adults want our country to be fully energy independent, and the goal is easily in reach — if Democrats don’t prevent it.
asserted
Democrats → want → it
Per polling done for the Council for a Secure America, 53% of US adults agree that “America’s energy independence makes our country safer.”
asserted
country → do → adults
Almost 60% think “energy independence helps the economy grow by creating high-paying jobs,” while some 71% percent say “it’s better for America to produce its own energy.”
That’s not the result of this year’s price spikes thanks to the Iran war: A June 2025 poll from the CSA shows essentially the same results.
asserted
poll → think → results
They’re entirely right, of course.
asserted
They → ’re → course
Energy independence boosts national security by removing any foreign nation’s power to leverage our supply; energy abundance (which goes hand in hand with independence) means lower prices, a stronger economy, higher living standards and a better, richer future for every American.
asserted
which → boost → American
And the United States has been trending the right way on energy independence since we hit record levels of imports in about 2006: In 2024, our net energy exports (exports minus imports) hit more than 9 quadrillion BTUs (British Thermal Units) — and the next year hit an all-time high of 11 quadrillion, with all signs indicating continued growth.
asserted
signs → trend → growth
Our record exports come despite near-record levels of domestic energy use, too — that is, US fuel production is out pacing consumption.
asserted
production → come → consumption
That’s driven largely by the fracking revolution boosting oil and natural-gas extraction, a rise dented only for a few years by Biden administration efforts to stifle it — moves like canceling the Keystone XL pipeline and almost ending new drilling access on federal lands while boosting the federal royalty on fuels extracted by 50%.
asserted
That → drive → %
President Donald Trump’s reversed that hostility as part of an across-the-board push for abundant energy that includes boosting nuclear-power generation by streamlining approval for new reactors, reforming the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and setting a goal of quadrupling of our nuke-power capacity by 2050.
asserted
that → reverse → 2050
Yet Democrats still demand policies that guarantee energy scarcity.
asserted
that → demand → scarcity
In blue states like New York and California, they aim to eliminate fossil-fuel carbon emissions; at the federal level, progressives in Congress constantly push laws to hamper generation, exploration and even transmission.
asserted
progressives → aim → generation
The push for “abundance liberalism” — that is, understanding that having cheap electricity and consumer goods and housing is good — seems to have failed; Democrats this year aren’t shouting out their opposition to cheaper energy, but few are running on anything about it except blaming Trump for higher pump prices.
asserted
few → understand → prices
(You’re supposed to forget Biden-era gas prices.)
asserted
You → suppose → prices
To see what happens when scarcity fans win the energy policy fight, take a look at Germany, where anti-fossil-fuel and anti-nuclear pieties have produced soaring power costs that basically stopped economic growth.
asserted
that → see → growth
Democratic victories in November could yield a Congress committed to the same greensanity, likely hobbling Trump’s drive for prosperity — thereby putting energy abundance, and America’s future fortunes, at risk.
uncertain
victories → yield → risk
