Republicans are Making American Energy HOT and UNLEASHED Again

August 29, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. — America is unleashing its energy dominance in just six months under President Trump and the Republican trifecta in Washington, D.C. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is officially being refilled and energy independence being restored as the historic budget reconciliation bill House Republicans delivered unleashes American energy production and delivers crucial permitting reforms.

In this HOT new episode of the Right to the Point Podcast, RSC HEAT Chair Troy Balderson (OH-12), RSC HEAT Vice-Chair Randy Weber (TX-14), and RSC HEAT Member Russell Fry (SC-07) discussed how the 119th Congress has reversed Biden's war on American energy and is addressing the looming grid crisis that threatens to leave most U.S. regions unable to meet energy demand by 2030.

The three Energy and Commerce Committee members emphasized that with AI data centers driving unprecedented energy needs and China racing ahead in power generation, America had to act decisively. They pointed to concrete victories including refilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve that was recklessly depleted by the Biden administration, advancing nuclear power development with enhanced tax credits, boosting LNG exports, and implementing permitting reforms that will unleash energy projects from the Gulf Coast to the Ohio shale fields.

The congressmen warned that regional transmission operators are projecting hundreds of hours of power outages without immediate action, but expressed optimism that the One Big Beautiful Bill provides the foundation for energy security and economic growth, from tech companies like Google partnering on baseload energy solutions to positioning America to win the race against China in AI and energy security.
