The conservative American Energy Alliance endorsed Donald Trump for president on Tuesday as the nation’s best choice to transform the nation’s energy economy.
“Over the last eight years President Obama has subjected the American people to policies that fundamentally transform our energy economy into just another politicized arm of Washington,” said Tom Pyle, president of the conservative, free-market group. The president “rewarded his contributors with government mandates and taxpayer subsidies, rather than allowing Americans to choose what works for them,” Pyle said in a statement endorsing the GOP’s presumptive nominee for president.
“The outcome of this election will determine whether we continue this destructive agenda or take a more free-market approach that will result in affordable, reliable energy for every American,” he said.
Pyle said the contrast between Trump and his Democratic rival could not be greater. “Donald Trump’s message is one of optimism, prosperity and abundance where the needs of consumers and workers are put first,” Pyle said. “Hillary Clinton’s message is one of political favors and cronyism that puts the agenda of her favored special interests above all else.”
