What is Energy Dominance and How Do We Get More of It?  

When we think of dominance in sports, we think of impressive, sustained excellence that overwhelms competitors: Michael Jordan’s Bulls, Tom Brady’s Patriots, and Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs. 

What about energy dominance? 

While most Republican presidents have campaigned on some version of energy independence or an “all-of-the-above” energy approach, President Donald Trump goes further—no longer just independence, but dominance is the goal. Much like in sports, Trump has assembled a team on the National Energy Dominance Council to make the required fixes to “win now” and to deliver prolonged success for American energy leadership. 

A defining legacy for the Trump administration’s energy dominance agenda should be cheap, reliable, and clean energy. The best hope for this is to support well-functioning energy markets that are open, competitive, and responsive to price signals. A successful energy dominance agenda will achieve four key objectives: affordability, reliability, security, and environmental progress.
