America's energy policy is a critical component of national security, according to Robert O'Brien, former National Security Advisor to President Trump, and Neil Auerbach, founder and CEO of Hudson Sustainable Group. In a recent article published on WorldNetDaily, O'Brien and Auerbach argue that the United States stands at a crossroads and must adopt an energy strategy that prioritizes national interests, promotes clean air and water, and ensures American global leadership.

The authors emphasize the importance of domestic oil and gas production, which plays a central role in the nation's economy and will continue to do so long into the future. They call for the facilitation of further growth of this vital industry by confronting the impact of regulations that stymie growth. In a world where Europe and Asia are striving to stabilize their energy supplies amidst growing demands, the United States' decision to pause new Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) export approvals has serious implications for global stability.

O'Brien and Auerbach argue that American energy dominance over adversaries necessitates an approach that spans all sectors. This policy must include dramatic increases in drilling for oil and gas, the restoration of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), which was needlessly drained for political reasons, the revitalization of our nuclear power industry, particularly through encouraging the building of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), and a reclaiming of American leadership in the clean energy sector.

The authors also highlight the importance of an all-of-the-above energy strategy that benefits consumers and efficient producers. They argue that the United States can and must continue to invest in expanding its global leadership in oil and gas production, which remains a cornerstone of its energy supply, and expand domestic production of clean energy and low-carbon emission solutions, such as wind, solar, hydropower, hydrogen, and nuclear—all produced in the United States with equipment manufactured in the United States.


O'Brien and Auerbach also address the threat posed by China's dominance of both manufacturing and mineral extraction and processing for the low-carbon economy. They argue that by unleashing American innovation and production of clean technologies, the United States can export these products around the world, both reducing emissions globally and reducing China's stranglehold on clean energy supply chains.

In conclusion, O'Brien and Auerbach argue that Republicans can adopt a winning energy policy and political strategy by emphasizing market-driven solutions that support national interests over government mandates. They call for a diverse energy policy that lowers domestic energy costs while strengthening the United States' position as a net energy exporter. By focusing on energy security and pragmatic environmental stewardship, they argue, the United States can ensure a prosperous and secure future for itself and its allies.
