Energy Realism last week focused on a variety of issues but the theme remains the same: we must support more U.S. energy development at all costs. 

Mike Roman got us started last week: U.S. LNG is the key to our energy future but we need to seek a balance. When speaking to reporters during the rollout of the Department of Energy’s latest report on LNG exports, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm declared that “(t)he main takeaway is that a business-as-usual approach is neither sustainable nor advisable." But is that what the report really says? Recall that last January, the Biden Administration placed a “pause” on DOE approvals for new U.S. LNG export terminals in order to conduct a thorough analysis on whether LNG exports are truly in the nation’s interest. This report is the analysis they have been waiting for. And Derrick Hollie confirms that it will indeed be natural gas to power our AI revolution. Many experts agree that energy and the continued development of AI are critical to America’s national security. In order to compete with our allies and adversaries, we must advocate and call upon Congress and policymakers to act immediately in developing legislation in support of American technology and innovation throughout the AI sector. This should also include reducing regulations that have prohibited new on and offshore energy production. Finally, Benjamin Zycher discusses a key climate lawfare case that we should be paying attention to.
