Tell Congress to pass the American Energy Dominance Act!

New solar, wind, and a little nuclear met over 100% of all global electricity demand growth in 2025, with total fossil fuel consumption for electricity declining that year even as the economy grew. Solar has been the fastest-growing source of electricity on the planet for 21 years now, and its electricity production has doubled in just the last three years. The electrotech revolution just keeps accelerating!

The Iran War and Hormuz fossil fuel crisis have starkly exposed the vulnerability of combustion, accelerating clean electrification. China’s exports of solar, EVs, and batteries hit record highs in March 2026.

Think tank Ember calculates that in April 2026, wind plus solar generated more electricity than fossil gas worldwide for the first time ever! Wind and solar generated 22% of global electricity that month, compared to gas at 20%.

And Bloomberg NEF notes that energy storage (mostly batteries) has crossed the “100 GW annually” barrier, with 112 GW (112,000 MW) installed worldwide in 2025. (54% of those installations were in China). The “solar power during the day, battery-stored solar at night” model is fully mature and increasingly dominating global energy systems.

The clean energy industries powering the present and future of human civilization are now overwhelmingly dominated by China. America tried to catch up with the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, but recent political sabotage has reversed years of growth in U.S. clean energy manufacturing. American electrotech manufacturing investment has sharply declined since IRA tax credits were eviscerated in the disastrous OBBBA budget of 2025, with factories closing and thousands of jobs lost.

But there are still some U.S. electrotech innovators making it work, and politicians are beginning to realize how badly partisan nonsense has given away the electric future. Recently, four Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives introduced the American Energy Dominance Act to extend the 45Y production tax credit and 48E investment tax credit for clean energy, partially repealing some of OBBBA’s damage. 122 Democrats have also introduced the Energy Bills Relief Act, which would go much further in restoring the free growth of clean energy abundance. Congress should ideally pass both, and also the permitting-focused FREEDOM Act to cut away the red tape being weaponized by the White House to block clean power build-outs. Whatever turns out to be politically possible in these insane times, all Senators and Representatives must prioritize reclaiming American participation in the clean energy revolution by any means necessary, from restoring tax credits to streamlining permitting to reining in executive abuses.

Tell Congress to pass the American Energy Dominance Act!

(Yes, the whole “dominance” thing is kind of a cringey and pointlessly macho way to talk about energy, but it’s the terminology being used by the few Republican electeds trying to push their party back towards basic sanity in energy policy, so I’m trying to support it in action letters to Congress long as it might help move the needle a bit).
