As America celebrates it’s 250th Anniversary, we stand at an energy crossroads. We are locked in the most consequential technological competition of our lifetime—the race to dominate artificial intelligence and the advanced technologies that will define the 21st century. But this race cannot be won without a fundamental truth: whoever controls the world's energy future controls the global economy.

America has something no one cannot replicate: our unparalleled tradition of innovation. From Thomas Edison’s electric power system, to the Manhattan Project that launched the nuclear age to the hydraulic fracturing revolution that transformed global energy markets, America has consistently led the world in breakthrough energy technologies. The light-water reactors that powered America's nuclear renaissance, the fracking techniques pioneered by companies like Mitchell Energy with DOE support—these weren't accidents. They were the product of a uniquely American ecosystem that combines world-class national laboratories, entrepreneurial private sector innovators, and smart federal policy.

Join ClearPath as we take you through America’s remarkable history of energy innovation and the amazing advancements that have fueled the strongest economy in the world.

We must recommit to what made America great—leading through markets over mandates, innovation over regulation. President Trump's vision of quadrupling U.S. nuclear energy to 400 GW by 2050 isn't just ambitious; it's essential for winning the AI race. Next-generation reactors are smaller, easier to build, and cost-effective. The 2032 timeline for energy credits can help us achieve 10 new large reactors under construction by 2030, putting us on track to meet this transformational goal.

Federal research and development, combined with strategic tax incentives, must fuel the next generation of American energy innovation. When we invest in breakthrough technologies—from advanced nuclear to cutting-edge storage solutions—we ensure that tomorrow's energy revolution will be stamped "Made in America."
