As the demand for energy increases, we must ask ourselves how to best meet our energy needs while responsibly stewarding our resources.

If there is one conclusion that should be drawn from the boom in U.S. natural gas production, it is that supplies are so abundant that it makes economic sense to export some of our gas to countries overseas. No one could have imagined that possibility even a few years ago...

Renewables have their uses, but they are a distraction from our goal that should be to expand our supply of affordable energy.

Unlocking "unconventional" energy requires unconventional politics, and that's one resource that is genuinely scarce among today's backwards-looking bureaucrats and green interest groups.

Policy makers should promote abundant and affordable energy, and oppose policies that raise energy prices and restrict energy access.

By removing unnecessary regulatory burdens that hinder companies from doing what they do best — creating jobs and meeting the needs of American consumers — the nation could create jobs and boost an otherwise lackluster economic recovery.

Join us as AEI visiting scholar Benjamin Zycher and University of Wyoming professor Timothy Considine discuss the results of their recent research into renewable energy, with counterpoints from Kate Gordon of the Center for American Progress and Jimmy Glotfelty,  co-founder and executive vice president of external affairs at Clean Line Energy.

If we want our economy to flourish, we need our energy to be two things: abundant and affordable. And only free energy markets can provide that.
