Given the energy disruptions in the Middle East and the topsy turvy fluctuation in the price of crude oil, here are a few facts we thought we’d share with you on the energy scene.

First, America is now producing more oil and gas than ever. Since 2022, we’ve produced more than any other nation, including Saudi Arabia. The best way to inoculate ourselves from foreign supply disruptions is to generate every barrel of oil we can here at home.

Second, the green new deal was and continues to be an energy belly flop. Even after spending $400 billion of taxpayer subsidies on wind and solar power, these remain fringe and non-scalable forms of energy.  We get 80% of our power from fossil fuels. Same as it ever was.

Third, the Middle East has ALWAYS been an unreliable source of energy for the U.S. Since the 1970s, prices have always spiked when there is turmoil in the Middle East.

Fourth, the U.S. is now a net exporter of oil and gas, with by far the largest increases in production.

If Donald Trump is right that these oil supply-chain disruptions are temporary, the oil price will head back to the $40 to $60 range almost assuredly and the great 2026 economic boom is right around the corner.
