The era of bowing to globalist schemes that weaken American energy independence is finally coming to an end, thanks to courageous conservative leadership at both the state and national levels. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry recently proved himself a true warrior for American energy, signing into law Act 462, a landmark bill that unapologetically prioritizes domestic oil, natural gas, and nuclear power over unreliable and foreign-dependent wind and solar sources. This bold move perfectly aligns with President Donald Trump’s steadfast commitment to American energy dominance, a policy that is already reshaping the global stage.
Landry’s decisive action sends a clear message to other states: it’s time to stop outsourcing America’s energy future to foreign adversaries who neither share our values nor have our interests at heart. Act 462, sponsored by State Representative Jacob Landry (no relation to the governor), explicitly instructs Louisiana’s Department of Energy and Natural Resources to prioritize homegrown fuel production instead of chasing politically fashionable yet unreliable “green” sources that rely on materials controlled by countries like China. This strategic shift is not merely symbolic; it represents a concrete step toward true energy independence, economic security, and national sovereignty.
Under President Trump’s leadership, the United States has once again become a global energy powerhouse. The Biden era of suffocating regulations, canceled pipelines, and virtue-signaling policies that enriched our geopolitical foes is behind us. Instead, we’re witnessing a revival of American industry, American jobs, and American pride. Louisiana’s bold commitment to fossil fuels and nuclear power dovetails perfectly with Trump’s broader America First agenda. It represents a clear victory against radical environmentalists and international bureaucrats who would rather see Americans dependent and vulnerable.
Governor Landry’s legislation is not just good economics—it’s good national security. As Diana Furchtgott-Roth recently highlighted in National Review, “President Donald Trump’s energy plans to promote oil and gas production can reset the world stage, and Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is on board.” By embracing our abundant natural resources, we insulate ourselves from geopolitical pressures and reduce foreign influence over our economy. It is a commonsense strategy that every patriotic American should enthusiastically support.
The new state law shifting focus to producing domestic fuel, not energy that relies on foreign countries, provides a model for other states to follow.
Louisiana has long been a proud energy state, employing thousands of hardworking Americans and powering much of our nation’s economic growth. Governor Landry understands that real prosperity does not come from subsidized windmills and solar panels created in distant factories overseas, but rather from unleashing American ingenuity and tapping into the God-given resources beneath our feet. He has courageously stood up to the radical leftists who demonize American workers and energy producers, exposing their empty rhetoric and demonstrating real leadership in the process.
This battle is far from over. Radical environmental activists, backed by globalist elites and foreign interests, continue their relentless campaign against American energy independence. They will use every tool at their disposal, from biased media coverage to frivolous lawsuits, to undermine this critical progress. But conservatives across America are energized and ready to fight back, inspired by leaders like Governor Landry and President Trump.
It is imperative that states across our nation follow Louisiana’s example. We must reject the false promises of green energy dependency and embrace an America First energy policy that champions domestic oil, natural gas, and nuclear power. The choice is clear: we can either cede control of our future to foreign powers who seek to exploit us, or we can reclaim our independence and prosperity by tapping into the abundant resources right beneath our feet.
Governor Jeff Landry has drawn a clear line in the sand, boldly declaring that Louisiana—and America—will no longer be held hostage by the failed energy policies of the past. Conservatives everywhere should applaud this decision and demand their own leaders follow suit. The future of American greatness depends on it.
