The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.

Here, Chris and I propose a path to a politics of energy addition beyond obstruction, centered on the common good.

“As with semiconductor chips and trade with China, the geopolitical and economic realities of a deindustrialized America in the twenty-first century appear to be slowly forcing national leaders toward a convergence around energy policy.

At the Energy Imperatives Summit last week, which @ACC_National co-hosted with @AmericanAffrs and @JoinFAI, we outlined the pillars of a new energy framework:

- Permitting
- Capital
- Innovation

Letting the Great Salt Lake die is a choice we don't need to make.

Utah has a shot at being the first place in the world to restore a terminal saline lake: abundance can get us there. My latest for @dcexaminer:

It’s one thing to do something great. It’s another thing entirely to get to do it with friends @poastmilque @IsaiahMenning @ACC_National @JoinFAI

The Office of Energy Dominance Financing @juliekozeracki interviewed by @ThomasHochman

“The DOE has instructed the financing office to have 10 new reactors under construction by 2030.” ⚛️🦅

[First Solar @FirstSolar]

First Solar CEO Mark Widmar met with Utah @GovCox at the Energy Imperatives Summit in Washington, D.C. this week.

Utah is home to @RioTinto's Kennecott mine and the only tellurium processing facility in the United States. Tellurium is the foundation of First Solar’s cadmium telluride thin film technology. Kennecott is an important part of the domestic supply chain that keeps our modules genuinely American-made.

Governor Cox understands what’s at stake. So does Utah.

“Every one of our problems in the grid right now - affordability, reliability, serving data centers in abundance - is all about getting more supply online.”

[Alan Armstrong @SenArmstrong]

This morning, I joined @RepScottPeters & @ChrisBarnardDL at the Energy Imperatives Summit for a bicameral, bipartisan chat on the dangers our nation will face in the coming years if we do not fix our permitting process.

The only long-term solution to rising energy costs is for America to build again.

[Max Bodach @maxbodach]

Really glad to partner with our friends at @ACC_National & @AmericanAffrs on Energy Imperatives! Day 1 recap below:

[Alan Armstrong @SenArmstrong]

Thankful for allies like @ChrisBarnardDL @RepScottPeters and @Sen_JoeManchin!

[Thomas Hochman @ThomasHochman]

Will be moderating three great panels this morning:

@RepJoshHarder on the Build America Caucus

@JoeManchinWV on permitting reform

and @JulieKozeracki on EDF and all things nuclear

Come hang out!

[Christopher Barnard @ChrisBarnardDL]

A Republican, a Democrat, and an Independent walk into a bar…

… and (hopefully) walk out with a bipartisan permitting reform deal 🍻

Day 2 of the Energy Imperatives Summit is happening now 🇺🇸

[Christopher Barnard @ChrisBarnardDL]

Time to wake up, fellow EIS travelers, I’ll be interviewing @SenArmstrong & @RepScottPeters at 9am

[American Conservation Coalition @ACC_National]

Day 1 of the 2026 Energy Imperatives Summit is underway.

The future of energy belongs to nations that build. 🇺🇸

[American Conservation Coalition @ACC_National]

The U.S. needs more energy. A lot more.

And @repgabeevans says energy shouldn’t be politicized.

"If it works, we need it on the grid. We need it on the grid now."

[Christopher Barnard @ChrisBarnardDL]

Great chat with @EnergyUnderSec today at the Energy Imperatives Summit.

DOE early-stage support unleashed the fracking revolution, and public-private partnerships will unleash the next energy revolution, from nuclear to advanced geothermal.
