The world is a more dangerous place today than it was four years ago, largely due to bad energy policy. Restrictions on fossil fuel and nuclear power development in North America and Europe, for example, resulted in rising prices for oil and natural gas, and President Vladimir Putin used Russia‘s windfall oil and gas profits to wage war in Ukraine.

With rising uncertainty abroad, the world can no longer afford to have an America asleep at the wheel on energy policy. Rather than hamstring American energy producers with mounting regulations, our nation needs to show global energy leadership by producing as much energy as possible to drive down prices and make the United States an arsenal of energy dominance.
