For the last four years, we saw the results of bad energy policies—$5/gallon gasoline, energy prices skyrocketing and fueling inflation on almost all other goods and services. After a hard-fought battle to elect pro-American energy candidates at the top of the ticket and across the country, now the real work begins.

To move forward from dark days where American families can barely afford groceries or a tank of gas, here are the policies that TEA hope to see from a new Trump Administration:

• “Drill, baby, drill” and “Frack, frack, frack” aren’t just catchy lines in a campaign speech. The Biden Administration started placing moratoriums and “pauses” on federal oil and gas leases on day one. Harris infamously flip-flopped and then flipped again on whether she would ban fracking. TEA hopes to see a return to consistent, common-sense rules for energy producers to take advantage of American resources and provide affordable energy for our families and businesses.
• Support for safe and necessary energy infrastructure like pipelines, including the Keystone XL pipeline if it can be revived. Biden killed the Keystone XL pipeline, which would have carried Canadian crude oil into the U.S., on his first day and others like the Mountain Valley Pipeline have been stalled by overregulation and legal battles. It’s time to stop allowing bureaucrats and activist courts to hold up these needed projects so that American energy can be delivered to the communities that need it.
• The government should not be in the business of picking energy winners and losers and financing it on the backs of American taxpayers. Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act alone could cost over $1 trillion in handouts to so-called “green” energy like wind and solar. TEA will be looking for a repeal of these costly subsidies.
• American natural gas is THE standard for truly green energy. Increased use of natural gas for electricity generation is the top reason for U.S. power sector emissions reductions over the past 17 years—almost double the impact of renewable sources. We should be investing in energy that is clean with the results to prove it.

Affordable and abundant energy is what built this great nation. The future is bright now that we can embrace that basic tenet and lower energy costs for American families. TEA looks forward to seeing these positive energy policies and more soon.
