America needs energy dominance
We're in an arms race, and there can be only one winner
COMMENTARY
By Clifford D. May - Tuesday, October 28, 2025
OPINION:
National security requires energy security. American greatness — by which I mean the maintenance of American power second to none in a world where despotic regimes threaten free nations — requires more than that. It requires energy dominance.
To achieve this goal, President Trump has established the National Energy Dominance Council, whose chairman, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, and vice chairman, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, also have seats on the National Security Council.
This is a sharp departure from the Biden administration, for which energy policy was subsidiary to climate policy. Former Secretary of State John F. Kerry was the first special presidential envoy for climate, a position since abolished, and also served on the National Security Council.
Based on the dubious assertion that climate change is “the existential challenge of our time,” Mr. Kerry pushed for an “energy transition,” with the government mandating that American hydrocarbons stay in the ground and subsidizing such purportedly “green and clean” energy sources as the sun and the wind.
His mission was not accomplished. When President Biden took office in January 2021, fossil fuels accounted for roughly 79% of U.S. primary energy consumption. By 2024, that percentage had increased to roughly 82%.
Energy dominance is not a new idea. In his 2007 book, “Energy Victory,” Robert Zubrin wrote that for “nearly a century, control of oil has been the decisive factor determining victory or defeat in the struggle for world dominance.”
When World War I began in 1914, the United States was responsible for as much as 70% of global oil production. German U-boats did serious damage to American shipping but ultimately failed to stop American oil from reaching Britain and France.
“The crack German infantry were as tough as they come,” Mr. Zubrin writes, “but there was no way they could cope with a new army equipped with fleets of rampaging gasoline-powered land battleships and assisted by unmatched swarms of fighter aircraft.”
