(Opinion) America must dominate the energy market and produce as much power as possible so we can lower prices and win the artificial intelligence race. China has no limitations and will use any means they can get away with to beat the United States and the world. The computer systems that make AI possible use massive amounts of energy. President Trump is aware of this and has signed an executive order to establish The National Energy Dominance Council.

According to the White House, the Council’s job will be to,
(i) advise the President on how best to exercise his authority to produce more energy to make America energy dominant;
(ii) advise the President on improving the processes for permitting, production, generation, distribution, regulation, transportation, and export of all forms of American energy, including critical minerals;
(iii) provide to the President a recommended National Energy Dominance Strategy to produce more energy that includes long-range goals for achieving energy dominance by cutting red tape, enhancing private sector investments across all sectors of the energy-producing economy, focusing on innovation, and seeking to eliminate longstanding, but unnecessary, regulation;
(iv) advise and assist the President in facilitating cooperation among the Federal Government and domestic private sector energy partners; and
(v) advise the President on facilitating consistency in energy production policies included in the Strategy developed under subsection (b)(iii) of this section.
(c) In performing the advisory functions listed under subsection (b) of this section, the Council, through the Chair, shall, when appropriate, coordinate with the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. The functions of the Council shall report to the Office of the Chief of Staff.
(d) Within 100 days of the date of this order, and from time to time thereafter as deemed appropriate by the Chair, the Council shall:
(i) recommend to the President a plan to raise awareness on a national level of matters related to energy dominance, such as the urgency of reliable energy; the improvements in technology achieved through reliable energy sources; the national security concerns with removing reliable and affordable energy sources; the jobs supported by the energy sector; and the regulatory constraints driving up the cost of reliable energy to consumers;
(ii) advise the President regarding the actions each agency can take under existing authorities to prioritize the policy objective of increasing energy production, such as rapidly and significantly increasing electricity capacity; rapidly facilitating approvals for energy infrastructure; approving the construction of natural gas pipelines to, or in, New England, California, Alaska, and other areas of the country underserved by American natural gas; facilitating the reopening of closed power plants; and bringing Small Modular Nuclear Reactors online;
(iii) provide to the President a review of markets most critical to power American homes, cars, and factories with reliable, abundant, and affordable energy;
(iv) advise the President regarding incentives to attract and retain private sector energy-production investments;
(v) advise the President on identifying and ending practices that raise the cost of energy; and
(vi) consult with officials from State, local, and Tribal governments and individuals from the private sector to solicit feedback on how best to expand all forms of energy production.

The President’s council will have some of the brightest people in America to advise him. There is no reason for Democrats to get in the way of his plans. We must get away from using other counties energy resources when we have so many available here. We just need to tap them. The possibilities are endless. When President Trump is finished with his term, I’m predicting that we will be energy independent once again.
