The U.S. Energy Sector is made up of the oil, nuclear, coal, and natural gas industries which powers the entire U.S. Economy. It touches everything from Manufacturing, to Science, to Education, to Agriculture, to Banking, to Business and the Home. Over-regulation and over-taxation of the Energy Sector has an immediate and direct impact on every American at every level.

The Main Concern is removing governmental obstacles to domestic energy production. Releasing the strangle-hold of over-regulation is the only way to quickly and efficiently serve consumers in an every-changing and evolving and dynamic market. It is also the only way to increase industry stability, innovation, and efficiency.

Recent Leftists' Energy Policies and Extreme Environmentalist 'Green Initiatives' have damaged and over-regulated the energy industry through the Biden Administration and previous Democrat Presidential Administrations. Only by keeping a positive trend towards pro-energy friendly policies can we meet our current and future needs and secure our economic and national security.

The Nuclear Energy Future is Now

Demand for Power has dramatically increased. Expect to see a sharp increase in new Large, Modern Nuclear Power Plants due to demand and lowering of regulations by the Trump Administration. What is most exciting is the field of Small Nuclear Power technology that has come of age. T In stead of burdening the Power Grid, the idea of taking power to facilities that need it is now possible. These can can power a hospital, a city, a military base, to a large industrial park or naval shipyard, and large A.I. Data Centers. These small nuclear plants have safely been used for years in U.S. Nuclear Submarines and other Navy ships and are now being produced more widely for expanded U.S. Military and Civilian use.

From 1967 to 1972, the nuclear sector experienced significant growth, and 48 new nuclear plants were built. But in March 1979, a meltdown at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, which resulted in no casualties and no lingering environmental damage, spooked the entire nation and empowered anti-nuclear activists.

Natural Gas & LNG

U.S. Department of Energy Reverses Biden LNG Pause, Restores Trump Energy Dominance Agenda - Jan 21, 2025

National Gas, which can be easily be burned for heating, cooking and electricity generation. It is formed from the break down of biological matter and often found in underground geological formations along side oil and coal.

Methane (CH4 ) is the main hydrocarbon component (95%) in National Gas. LNG or Liquid/Liquefied Natural Gas is a cooled version often used in transportation for shipping overseas. Propane, which compresses into a liquid form, is by-product of natural gas processing and petroleum refining. Butane, which easily liquifies, is a trace component of natural gas.
