Recent geopolitical disruptions and their impact on global energy markets have been a stark reminder that energy security remains inseparable from economic security and geopolitical stability. The United States is better positioned than most nations to navigate market volatility, thanks to decades of investment and innovation that made America the world's leading producer of oil and natural gas and a reliable supplier to global markets. But future disruptions will require a stronger, more flexible energy system—one built on secure supply, modern infrastructure and resilience.

The following recommendations provide a framework for getting there.

SECURE AMERICAN ENERGY SUPPLY

• Develop a Robust Federal Offshore Leasing Program
• Ensure Stable, Consistent Fuel Supply Through a Functional Renewable Fuel Standard
• Optimize the Strategic Petroleum Reserve

BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE AND MOVE ENERGY

• Pass Comprehensive Permitting Reform
• Improve the Jones Act to Unlock Domestic Energy Flexibility
• Provide Relief from Unnecessary Tariffs on Critical Energy Inputs

STRENGTHEN RESILIENCE AND SUPPLY CHAINS
