Power America
Fuel Freedom. Power America.
MISSION
Affordable, reliable power is the predicate for modern American prosperity because energy is the industry that powers every other industry. It is also the first precondition for a strong national defense, as a strong defense-industrial base is built on a strong commercial-industrial base. Through the Power America Campaign, our policy experts will work at all levels of government for solutions that will stop the attack on reliable energy, bring dispatchable resources such as coal, natural gas, and fission energy onto the grid, and power the next wave of innovation in nuclear power, batteries, and refining.
Focus Areas / Policy Pillars
- Affordable Energy – We will work to ensure that families and businesses have the cost-effective energy they need to thrive. No excessive taxes, ideology-driven “fees,” or woke “social-cost” metrics.
- Reliable Energy – Extreme circumstances that threaten power supplies are also the times when power is most needed. We will work to ensure that Americans get the power they need, when they need it, by rewarding reliability and penalizing unreliability.
- Energy Innovation – Technologies like hydraulic fracturing and liquified natural gas changed the story of energy dependence to American energy dominance --- we believe that government should keep its finger off the scales and let American ingenuity drive the next series of game-changing advancements.
- Supercharge Production – America is a nation of builders, not bottlenecks. Remove barriers in permitting, leasing, and infrastructure so American producers can invest, hire, and deliver best-of-the-above energy.
- End the Green New Deal – We will do everything in our power to end mandates, subsidies, taxes, and schemes that pick winners and punish reliable power under the guise of “climate policy.”

Powering Colorado
Colorado sits at the center of one of America's most productive onshore energy systems. In 2025, the state produced 170.5 million barrels of crude oil and 1.87 trillion cubic feet of marketed natural gas (U.S. Energy Information Administration [EIA], 2026a; EIA, 2026b), accounting for about 3–4% of U.S. crude oil output and a similar single-digit share of national marketed natural gas production (EIA, 2025; EIA, 2026c). Production from the Denver-Julesburg Basin helps supply energy to homes, businesses, manufacturers, and farms across the region while generating significant revenues for Colorado communities.

Congress Should Follow the Administration’s Lead on Lowering Energy Prices
Recent action by the Trump administration has made historic strides to free up energy production, reduce burdensome regulations, and repeal harmful and unnecessary rules. In particular, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and Energy Secretary Chris Wright have made significant progress in reducing the regulatory pressure on energy production. From the EPA’s “biggest deregulatory action in U.S. history” to the notable reduction of “47 burdensome and costly regulations” by the DOE, the administration has effectively moved the country from a net-zero to energy dominance focus.

Ten Actions Congress Could Take to Lower Energy Prices | Fact Sheet
Energy powers modern life, and affordable, reliable energy powers prosperity. Prices stabilize—and often decline—when Congress sets reasonable safety and environmental standards, then steps back to let free markets, innovation, and competition deliver supply, reliability, and controlled costs.

Ten Actions Congress Could Take to Lower Energy Prices
Energy powers life, and energy that is affordable and reliable powers prosperity. But affordable and reliable energy requires a few basics to become a reality: sufficient supplies and controlled costs. Energy prices tend to stabilize—and even decline—when Washington establishes reasonable safety and environmental guidelines, then steps back to let free markets operate, and individuals and businesses innovate and produce.

Letter to the Arizona State Land Department
On behalf of the America First Policy Institute (AFPI), thank you for the recent statement from the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) regarding the Ørsted project that would transform active grazing allotments on State Trust Land into a utility-scale solar installation. It is imperative that projects such as this are evaluated objectively, particularly in the wake of reporting on potential conflicts of interest on the part of elected officials.
