To Punish Russia, U.S. Must Unleash Energy Dominance Again

To punish Russia, our nation must unleash energy dominance again.

To mitigate the damage caused by energy dependence, the Biden administration must repeal Executive Order 13990 that went into effect on January 20th, 2021.Billed as "Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science To Tackle the Climate Crisis," the directive instructed agencies - including the EPA, Interior, and Energy Departments - to effectively undo four years of good energy policy.

The U.S. Energy Information Agency says America is heavily dependent on fossil fuels for energy production and consumption.

The agency explains, "Fossil fuels, or energy sources formed in the Earth's crust from decayed organic material, including petroleum, natural gas, and coal, continue to account for the largest share of energy production and consumption in the United States.

In 2019, 80% of domestic energy production was from fossil fuels, and 80% of domestic energy consumption originated from fossil fuels.

Sanctions alone won't deter Russia; unleashing American energy dominance again will.

To punish Russia, America must boost domestic production of oil, natural gas, and nuclear energy.
