The echoes of the 1970s resonate today. Stagflation, a tumultuous global landscape, and an energy crisis gripped the nation then, much like the challenges faced during the Biden administration. Inflation soared in 2022, impacting the cost of essential goods and services, while America's global standing faltered.

President-elect Trump's arrival signals a shift. His focus on economic prosperity, a strong national defense, and harnessing American energy potential offers a path forward. Addressing the missteps of the past four years is a priority.

The Biden administration's EPA pursued policies that stifled productivity under the guise of environmental protection. Their proposed regulations, including stringent vehicle emission standards pushing a rapid transition to electric vehicles, disregard existing market realities and threaten the traditional automotive industry.

Furthermore, the EPA's methane emission tax, disguised as a provision of the Inflation Reduction Act, will burden energy producers and ultimately consumers. This tax will drive up energy costs for all Americans, including those in states like Alabama with significant oil and gas resources.

President Trump's appointments, including Congressman Lee Zeldin for EPA and Governor Doug Burgum for the Department of the Interior and National Energy Council, signal a commitment to dismantling burdensome regulations and fostering American energy dominance. This new administration aims to usher in a renewed era of prosperity, with a focus on unleashing America's energy potential.
