Administration's objective is to restore American energy dominance through oil, gas, coal, and nuclear power

National (Energy) Security Strategy

Monday, Dec 15, 2025 - 05:20 PM

The White House recently released its newly updated National Security Strategy, a roadmap “to ensure that America remains the greatest and most successful nation in human history, and the home of freedom on earth.”

In the document’s opening statement among callouts of securing the border, massive military investments, and strengthening of NATO, Trump makes a specific call out for domestic energy: “We unleashed American energy production to reclaim our independence”

Under the header of economic security, the administration has declared the objective to restore American energy dominance through oil, gas, coal, and nuclear power. The intent is to reshore the necessary energy components to facilitate the national build out of these assets and prepare them for mass exporting.

    If we used wind, we would be dependent on Europe
    If we used solar, we would be dependent on China

    We would be screwed up and down and sideways with high cost/kWh energy
    We would be totally uncompetitive on domestic and world markets
    No energy dominance ever!!

    EUROPE AIMS TO WEAKEN THE US WITH EXPENSIVE OFFSHORE WINDMILLS THAT PRODUCE EXPENSIVE, LOW-QUALITY ELECTRICITY

    .
    Net zero by 2050 Euro elites tried to weaken the US, with help of the unpatriotic, leftist Biden clique, into going down the black hole of 30,000 MW by 2030 of expensive, highly-subsidized, weather-dependent, grid-disturbing offshore windmill systems, which would need expensive, highly subsidized, short-lived, battery systems for grid support.
    .
    Offshore wind full cost of electricity FCOE = 30 c/kWh + 11 c/kWh = 41 c/kWh, no subsidies
    Offshore wind full cost of electricity FCOE = 15 c/kWh + 11 c/kWh = 26 c/kWh, 50% subsidies
    The 11 c/kWh is for various measures required by wind and solar. Power plant to landfill cost basis. 
    This compares with 7 c/kWh + 3 c/kWh = 10 c/kWh from existing gas, coal, nuclear, large reservoir hydro plants.
    .
    Such expensive W/S electricity would have made the US even less competitive in world markets.
    Any US tariffs on the European supply of wind systems would greatly increase their turnkey capital costs/MW and their electricity costs/ kWh.
    .
    Almost the entire supply of the wind projects would be: 
    1) designed and made in Europe, 
    2) then transported across the Atlantic Ocean by European specialized ships, 
    3) then unloaded at new, taxpayer-financed, $500-million storage/pre-assembly/staging/barge-loading areas, 
    4) then barged to European specialized erection ships for erection of the windmill systems. 
    5) The financing would be mostly by European pension funds, that pay benefits to European retirees.

    Hundreds of people in each seashore state would have jobs during the erection phase
    The other erection jobs would be by specialized European people, mostly on cranes and ships
    Hundreds of people in each seashore state would have long-term O&M jobs, using mostly European spare parts, during the 20-y electricity production phase.
    .
    Conglomerates owned by Euro elites would finance, build, erect, own and operate almost all of the 30,000 MW of offshore windmills, providing work for many thousands of European workers for decades, and multi-$billion profits each year.
    .
    That Euro offshore wind ruse did not work out, because Trump was elected.
    Trump-hating, Euro elites are furious. Projects are being cancelled. The European windmill industry is in shambles, with multi-$billion annual losses, lay-offs and tens of $billions of stranded costs.
    .
    Trump spared the US from the W/S evils inflicted by the leftist, woke Democrat cabal, that used an autopen for Biden signatures, and bypassed on-the-beach/in-the-basement Biden, an increasingly dysfunctional Marionette.
    .
    Trump declared a National Energy Emergency, and put W/S/B systems at the bottom of the list, and suspended their licenses to put their rushed, glossy environmental impact statements, EIS, under proper scrutiny.
    .
    Euro elites used the IPCC-invented, “CO2-is-evil” hoax, based on its own “science”. 
    These elites used: 
    .
    1) the foghorn of government-subsidized Corporate Media to propagate scare-mongering slogans and brainwash the people, 
    2) censorship to suppress free thinking on town hall forums, 
    3) election interference, as in Moldova and Georgia, 
    4) ostracizing /marginalizing major political parties to produce desired outcomes, as in Germany. 
    .
    Wall Street elites saw an opportunity for tax shelters for its elite clients. 
    Woke politicians/bureaucrats were “cut-in” on $juicy deals to pass subsidies, favorable rules and regulations, and impose government mandates.
    Euro elites wanted the US to deliver electricity to users at very high c/kWh, to preserve Europe’s extremely advantageous trade balance with the US.
