American Energy Independence Matters More Than Ever

If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s this: energy isn’t just a commodity—it’s a cornerstone of American freedom.

At Fueling Freedom, we believe that affordable, reliable, and domestically produced energy is the bedrock of our nation’s security, economy, and sovereignty. That’s why we’re building a national coalition of citizens, advocates, and thought leaders who support an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy—one that unleashes American innovation and puts U.S. energy policy back in the hands of the American people.

But let’s take a step back. Why is energy independence so important right now?

 

Energy Is National Security

America’s ability to produce its own energy means more than just lower prices at the pump—it’s a matter of global strength.

When the United States is energy independent, we don’t have to rely on foreign nations with unstable governments or adversarial interests to power our homes, vehicles, or businesses. That’s not just a strategic advantage—it’s a shield against global market shocks, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical coercion.

Look at Europe’s energy crisis following the war in Ukraine. Nations dependent on Russian gas faced immediate and severe consequences. The U.S. doesn’t have to be in that position—and we shouldn’t be.

Energy Drives Economic Growth

From hydroelectric power plants in the Tennessee Valley to oil rigs in Texas to solar farms in Arizona, America’s energy sector supports millions of high-paying jobs across the country. And the effects ripple far beyond the industry.

Domestic energy production:

  • Keeps utility bills and fuel prices in check
  • Reduces inflationary pressures
  • Lowers costs for American manufacturing and logistics
  • Helps small businesses stay afloat in uncertain times

Whether you’re driving a truck, running a family farm, or managing a factory, affordable energy keeps you competitive.

Innovation, Not Limitation

Some argue that energy independence means choosing one source over another. At Fueling Freedom, we reject that false choice.

We support an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy—embracing oil, natural gas, nuclear, renewables, and next-generation technologies like hydrogen, carbon capture, and advanced battery storage.

American ingenuity is second to none. We can protect the environment, reduce emissions, and still lead the world in production. It’s not either/or. It’s both.

A Voting Issue for Millions

Our latest research shows that over 5.3 million Americans prioritize energy policy when they head to the ballot box. These voters are educated, engaged, and deeply concerned about rising energy prices and U.S. reliance on foreign sources.

They believe—like we do—that American energy is American strength.

That’s why Fueling Freedom exists: to mobilize this movement, shape public policy, and support candidates and legislation that put America back in control of its own energy future.

Powering Prosperity, Protecting Freedom

America has the resources. We have the talent. And we have the will. Now we need the policies—and the public support—to make energy independence not just a goal, but a guarantee.

Because when we power America with American energy, we’re not just keeping the lights on—we’re fueling freedom for generations to come.
