Alaska has been chasing a natural gas pipeline for half a century. After decades of false starts, political promises, and failed deals, the massive project that would deliver North Slope natural gas both to Alaskans and global markets is finally within reach.

That’s why everyone needs to pay attention when Senator Bill Wielechowski (D – Anchorage) insists the Senate’s gasline tax bill won’t jeopardize the project, even as the only company looking to invest tens of billions in...

On Tuesday, July 14, 2026 the American Energy Alliance joined with over 40 other free market advocacy groups in sending a letter to members of Congress in support of the End of EPA Abuse Act of 2026. The group, lead by the Competitive Enterprise Group, is urging congressional leadership to pass the act immediately. The full text of the letter is available below:

Dear Member of Congress:

The undersigned organizations urge you to support the End EPA Abuse Act of 2026 (H.R. 9453 and  S....

Offshore production in the Gulf of America currently supplies about 15% of U.S. oil production and supports jobs, investment, and manufacturing in all 50 states. New technological developments are about to expand production there. Tens of billions of barrels of oil lie beneath the Gulf in the Paleogene, where reservoir pressures reach 20,000 psi, well beyond the limits of previous offshore technology. This geological layer of sandstone and shale, deep beneath the seabed (Paleogene),  holds...

President Trump wants gasoline prices to "IMMEDIATELY" fall.  Like the president, we all would like to see lower prices at the pump. With more tanker traffic flowing through the Strait of Hormuz (though that may change now that peace talks appear to be stalled), oil prices have fallen, which means gasoline prices have begun to decline as well. Historically , however, gasoline prices do not fall as quickly as crude prices, as most politicians (and motorists) would prefer. But there is...

Solar energy is depleting farmlands of their rich soils in the U.S. Midwest. The solar industry is moving into the U.S. Midwest, drawn by cheaper land rents, access to electric transmission, massive federal and state incentives, and the region’s wide-open fields. But Biden’s renewable energy boom risks damaging some of America’s richest soils in key farming states like Indiana. Reuters based the finding  on an analysis of federal, state and local data, hundreds of pages of court...

Visitors to the World Cup games in the United States are awed by the availability of ice for drinks and the air conditioning in most facilities, including homes. Media reports of this have surprised Americans because more than nine out of 10 households here have air conditioning, and in much of the southern United States, nearly all households do. In contrast, only about 20% of homes across Europe  have air conditioning, and in the United Kingdom, the figure is less than 5%. In 1975, a...

When there is less sun and less wind, solar and wind power output will drop. The same is true of hydropower. If there is less rain and snow and the water behind dams falls, hydropower output will be lower. In February 2021 in Texas, a major storm reduced wind power output, prompting the state to rely on natural gas and coal, yet many consumers still lost power. In 2024, a major hailstorm outside of Houston dismantled a large solar panel facility. And studies show  that output from solar,...

Chevron plans to reach a final investment decision  later this year on a power plant that would use natural gas to supply Microsoft’s 2.7-gigawatt Project Kilby AI data center in Reeves County, Texas, under a 20-year agreement. The final investment decision will be made after the project receives all its permits, expected later this year. The Project Kilby data center would start receiving power in late 2028, and a fuller build-out would continue into the 2030s. Most of the electricity...

California has become one of the most expensive places to live in the United States. Whether it be the cost of housing, exorbitantly high income taxes, or especially the cost of energy, high costs have pushed many people and businesses to leave for more affordable states such as Nevada, Texas, or Florida.

Of the many famously high and onerous taxes that plague California, few come close to the celebrity of California’s fuel taxes, which are set to increase on Wednesday by an...

The Department of the Interior proposed major changes to Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rules regarding onshore oil and gas leasing and waste prevention to promote energy dominance and encourage domestic energy production. It is proposing to loosen two major Biden-era regulations: one on methane releases and the other on plugging non-operating wells. Producing more domestic energy provides jobs and enhances security while making products more affordable.

In 2024, the Biden...
