Former President Donald Trump is detailing his plan for "reclaiming American energy dominance."
In a new campaign ad, Trump promised to create "the power plants, pipelines, grids, ports, refineries, and shipping terminals of tomorrow," saying he will "bring back a pro-American energy policy at long last" if he's elected to the Oval Office.
"Nobody has more liquid gold under their feet than the United States of America, and we will use it and profit by it and live with it, and we will be rich again, and we will be happy again and will be proud again," Trump says in the four minute ad, which was first shared with Breitbart.
Trump, who is the only candidate in the 2024 presidential primary so far, also took a swipe at the current president, saying Joe Biden's "war on energy" is one of the "key drivers" of the worst inflation in 58 years.
"Biden reversed every action I took that achieved energy independence and soon, we are going to be energy dominant all over the world. He canceled the keystone XL pipeline, he reentered the horrendous Paris Climate Accords – so unfair to the United States, good for other countries, so bad for us. He put up huge road blocks to new oil, gas, and coal production and much, much more. In effect, Biden’s anti-American energy crusade is a massive tax hike on everything. Higher energy costs raise the price of food, raw materials, shipping, transportation, construction, manufacturing, and everything else," Trump said.
He also unveiled his plan to de-regulate the industry, exit the Paris Climate Accords, and "rapidly" approve "worthy" domestic energy infrastructure projects to lower prices and create jobs for Americans.
"I will deploy a team of warrior lawyers to hunt down every unnecessary regulation in the federal registry that hampers domestic production and we will wipe them off the books," Trump said. "We will again get out of Paris and we will rapidly issue approvals for all worthy energy infrastructure projects with a focus on maximum speed to bring prices down rapidly. So get those proposals ready now, because we are going to put thousands of Americans to work, building the power plants, pipelines, grids, ports, refineries and shipping terminals of tomorrow."
Trump continued to say that his vision is a "great undertaking" that will help restore "hope and aspirations" to young Americans.
"Instead of being irrationally terrified by political predictions of climate apocalypse, instead of toiling for low wages or left wing make-work projects, I have a vision that will give young Americans the chance to find real meaning in work once again -- like we had it two-and-a-half years ago -- building the backbone of America that is powerful, prosperous, productive, vigorous, modern, independent and free," he said. "The return of American jobs and the American dream will be powered by the return of American energy."
