The energy abundance train continues to gain steam.
RealClearEnergy (9/9/25) argues: "Abundance is deceptively simple. But in today’s energy debate, it’s a radical departure from the leftwing politics of scarcity that have too often dominated our policymaking. Scarcity tells us to cut, reduce, and constrain. Abundance says: build more. Build so that everyone has more housing, more infrastructure, more energy. And right now, we need far more energy. The scale of demand is staggering. According to ICF, U.S. electricity consumption is projected to grow 25% by 2030 and 78% by 2050. Much of this surge comes from the twin revolutions in artificial intelligence and electrification. Data centers alone are expected to double their power consumption by 2030, and electric vehicles are projected to consume nearly 300 terawatt-hours a year by the end of the decade, adding the equivalent of Turkey’s annual electricity use onto America’s grid. The challenge is unmistakable. Our energy system must expand dramatically and fast."

"The Protect Consumers from Reallocation Costs Act advances President Trump’s growth agenda for American energy and lowers costs for hardworking families, ensuring that refineries in Utah and across the nation are not subjected to unlawful regulations invented by DC lobbyists... Nowhere in the Clean Air Act does it say that the swampy corn lobby can force Americans to pay more for their products."
– Senator Mike Lee (R-UT)
