A few hours ago, President Donald J. Trump spoke before a crowd of construction and energy workers in Hackberry, Louisiana. He was in town to tour the Cameron LNG export facility—new energy infrastructure that will support jobs and small businesses in southwest Louisiana for the next 20 years and beyond.
He made them a promise: On his watch, America will never stop fighting to protect its spot as the "energy superpower of the world."
Both parties should agree on that vision. But in 2019, nothing is simple. The far left in Congress has embraced a different mission: the "Green New Deal." Rather than get behind the American energy revolution that has both cut carbon emissions and delivered high-paying jobs and affordable power in recent years, Congressional Democrats want Congress to pick which industries win and which ones lose.
In their view, if a clean energy revolution isn't run out of Washington, it doesn't count.
No matter. "The golden era of American energy is now underway," President Trump says—even if the far left refuses to join our citizens for the ride. Here is what the age of U.S. energy dominance looks like under President Trump:
Not a bad deal—even if Congressional Democrats don't get to claim credit for this one.

- America has become the largest crude oil producer on Earth.
- The United States has become a net natural gas exporter for the first time since 1957.
- Total energy production across various sources reached record highs in 2018.
- Mining and oil and gas extraction has contributed to economic growth in 49 states.
Not a bad deal—even if Congressional Democrats don't get to claim credit for this one.
