Restoring America’s Energy Renaissance

Price and Furchtgott-Roth discussed her recent article in the National Review about what the US needs to do in the energy front to get the US back on track.

In it she wrote “Although the United States has massive resources of oil and natural gas, Americans now face energy scarcity, an electric grid that is less reliable, and shortages of natural gas and oil—all of which have imposed higher prices on consumers and the economy.

According to a statement, “Diana Furchtgott-Roth is director of the Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment and the Herbert and Joyce Morgan Fellow in Energy and Environmental Policy at The Heritage Foundation.
