Interior Secretary Doug Burgum just dropped a bombshell about America’s untapped resources. He says the U.S. is sitting on $100 TRILLION worth of oil, gas, and minerals buried under our lands. That’s enough to pay off our national debt THREE TIMES OVER. While the Biden team was shutting down energy projects, Burgum’s rolling out a bold new plan to make America energy dominant again.
Burgum’s “four babies” strategy is simple: DRILL BABY DRILL, MAP BABY MAP, MINE BABY MINE, and BUILD BABY BUILD. This means cutting red tape so we can tap into our vast resources FAST. No more waiting 29 years for mining permits like that copper project out West. China’s laughing at us while they build two coal plants a week. We’ve got the minerals and energy to crush them – if we stop letting tree-hugger rules hold us back.
The secretary’s pushing a national balance sheet to show our REAL worth. Sure, we owe $36.5 trillion, but Burgum says our assets – like 700 million acres of federal land and 2.5 billion offshore acres – could be worth triple that debt. Environmentalists are squealing about protecting birds and rocks, but Burgum knows the truth: American energy means JOBS, SECURITY, and keeping China in check.
Remember when Biden locked up 625 million offshore acres? Burgum’s tearing up those orders. Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is BACK IN PLAY for drilling. Our coal plants? Cleaner than China’s 1970s-era junk. While China hoards rare earth metals, we’ve got enough under Montana and Texas to power our tech revolution.
The Trump team isn’t messing around. Burgum’s new National Energy Dominance Council acts like a SWAT team for energy projects – pipelines, power lines, you name it. Liberals say we’re wrecking the planet. Realists know we’re saving it FROM China. With AI and manufacturing BOOMING, we need reliable power – not windmill fantasies.
Burgum’s message is clear: America’s resources are our GOLDEN TICKET. Drill here. Mine here. Build here. Stop apologizing and START WINNING. The days of begging OPEC and bowing to Beijing are OVER. Our balance sheet’s about to get a whole lot greener – in the only color that matters.
