Energy was not the top concern on voters’ minds when they overwhelmingly reelected President-elect Donald Trump earlier this month. Still, millions of people see gas prices every day as they drive to work. The price of everything we buy is rising because of the cost of the fuel needed to transport it to us. 

Trump is in a position to improve the lives of every citizen by making energy cheaper, more reliable, and more abundant. Some of what he can accomplish can be done immediately, but others will take time, and his most enduring energy legacy items will require cooperation with Congress.
