FRANK LASEE: Energy And AI Dominance Necessary, And Trump Is Leading The Way
President Trump’s vision of American energy dominance is rapidly taking shape, promising a future of abundant, affordable power that fuels innovation while shielding everyday consumers from skyrocketing bills. By unleashing domestic production —oil, natural gas, nuclear, and more — Trump is reversing Biden-era policies.
Policies that stifled energy supply drove up costs and closed perfectly good reliable, low-cost coal plants and required spending huge amounts on wind, solar, and transmission wires. They have to be paid for, which causes electricity price increases and shortages of reliable electricity generation.
A prime example is Meta’s recent nuclear power agreements, announced in January 2026, with Constellation Energy, Vistra, Oklo, and TerraPower. These deals secure gigawatts of reliable, carbon-free baseload power for Meta’s AI operations, including restarts of existing reactors and deployments of small modular reactors (SMRs) by the early 2030s. Paid for by Meta, not other electricity users. (RELATED: Germany Finally Admits Nuking Its Energy Sector For No Reason Was A Bad Idea)
Nuclear provides 24/7 energy, aligning perfectly with Trump’s “all-of-the-above” strategy and AI’s need for 100% reliable electricity. Something that intermittent wind and solar cannot deliver.
In the last two years alone, data center giants like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google have inked at least eight similar nuclear pacts, like........
