Could President-Elect Donald Trump usher in a sensible energy policy that leads to independence from foreign imports, restores production in the Alaska national petroleum reserve, and even resurrects the possibility of the Keystone XL pipeline?
The answer is yes.
Trump’s America First energy plan calls for American energy dominance based upon our world-leading recoverable oil reserves – that is, the reserves that are technologically and economically possible to extract. U.S. reserves are estimated by Oslo’s Rystad Energy, a neutral third party, to be 264 billion barrels, more than Russia (256 billion barrels) or Saudi Arabia (212 barrels).
